Asbestos team joins panel of law firms for asbestos cancer charity

Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer, usually affecting the lining of the lungs and stomach, which is only known to be caused by asbestos. 
 
Mesothelioma UK was launched in 2004 with support from Macmillan Cancer Support and became an independent charity in 2009.  The charity is dedicated to providing specialist information, support and education to all UK mesothelioma patients and their carers and is committed to improving the care and treatment of patients.

The Mesothelioma UK panel is designed to ensure mesothelioma victims and their families receive specialist advice on compensation claims.  The panel of recommended law firms, including Leigh Day, will help with fundraising and will campaign to develop awareness of the disease and the work the charity undertakes.
