Leigh Day & Co represents the rights of people and
the environment in a world of multi-national organisations and global responsibility. Over the last 10 years, we have been involved in some ground-breaking cases involving the claims of foreign nationals
against British companies and government departments and the rights of British nationals abroad.
The common strand to these claims has been the pursuit of the rights of the individual against corporate and governmental bodies. The David vs Goliath battles are our forte and are why we are widely seen as the leading firm in this country in this type of case.
