'We hope by bringing a claim, our clients receive proper compensation for their suffering and it encourages companies to get it right the first time around' - Boz Michalowska Partner

Leigh Day & Co has a long history of claims against big pharmaceutical companies.  Drug companies spend millions of pounds in developing new products as they seek to make good returns for their shareholders.  However, drugs do not always work in the way they should and patients who use them have sometimes developed severe side-effects.  Leigh Day & Co is experienced in pursuing claims against pharmaceutical companies when things go wrong.
