DMPS compensation is rising by 49% but only for those diagnosed after Nov 4, 2025.

Partner, Isobel Lovett welcomes this long-overdue rise, but we must address the delay and lack of retrospection meaning many victims have already missed out on justice.

Asbestos exposure in the Armed Forces is an underreported crisis.

Veterans exposed to asbestos face stricter limits on compensation than civilians. In her blog, Legal Assistant, Alisa Ahmad explains why the current legal framework leaves too many behind and what needs to change.

Trial gives new hope for patients with asbestos-linked cancer For the first time researchers in Southampton have used a drug to slow the growth of mesothelioma.

Researchers in Southampton found that the drug niraparib slowed asbestos-related Mesothelioma progression by 27%. Patient James Fox, diagnosed in 2018, says itโ€™s given him โ€œseven really good years.โ€ A major step forward in the fight against #Mesothelioma.

Mahatma Gandhi, a lawyer by training, a leader by conviction.

Gandhi pioneered peaceful resistance & reshaped the fight for justice in India & beyond.

His story is a reminder that true power often lies in peaceful resistance.
