Flight delay compensation
We specialise in recovering compensation for delayed and cancelled flights under EU Regulation 261. Our clients receive expert legal representation to claim up to 520 per passenger when airlines fail to meet regulatory requirements. With over 83 million recovered since 2013, our dedicated team handles all aspects of the claim process.
Mis-sold car finance
Our legal experts challenge improper PCP finance agreements where undisclosed commissions affected consumer decisions. Following our landmark case against Black Horse, we've helped thousands reclaim thousands in mis-sold car finance settlements through formal complaint procedures and court action.
Road traffic accidents
We represent victims of road collisions seeking compensation for injuries and financial losses. With over two decades of experience, our solicitors handle complex cases involving insurers, securing over 100 million in settlements while providing ongoing client support throughout legal proceedings.
Cycling accident claims
Our cycling-specialist legal team advocates for injured cyclists against insurance companies. Drawing on 100+ years combined experience, we secure compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and rehabilitation costs while ensuring clients receive appropriate care during recovery.
No Win No Fee litigation
We offer regulated Conditional Fee Agreements for all compensation claims, eliminating financial risk for clients. If unsuccessful, clients pay nothing, while successful cases incur a 25% success fee plus reasonable disbursements as permitted by law.
