Leigh Day

With a strong background in product safety and consumer law, in addition to ‘experience of class action/multi-claimant claims, often with an international element’, Leigh Day is strong in high-value corporate scandal and consumer group actions, often publicly significant cases covering the medical devices and consumer goods, including white goods. A standout involvement is in cases shaping consumer law, such as the representation of claimants who have suffered adverse medical effects of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccination, litigation which involved government departments and in which experienced litigator Sarah Moore was instrumental. Personal injury lawyer Thomas Jervis specialises in fatal product liability cases or those involving catastrophic injuries. Sally Moore, Sapna Malik, and Gene Matthews head up the team, and Michelle Victor, who is frequently engaged in litigation stemming from metal hip implants, leading to recalls, is a standout practitioner. Elsewhere, Tina Patel departed from the firm in February 2025.
