Claims against the MoD
Leigh Day & Co is widely seen as one of the leading firm in the UK for claims against the Ministry of Defence.
Over the last 10 years we have been involved in some of the most ground-breaking cases against the MoD, including acting on behalf of former servicemen who participated in chemical testing at Porton Down, acting on behalf of servicemen injured during service and acting on behalf of Iraqi civilians tortured and abused by British troops in Iraq.
Our history has shown that we have a strong commitment to representing the rights of the individual whatever their situation in the world.
