Glasgow's long history as an industrial powerhouse of Scotland (and indeed of Great Britain) has brought much prosperity and trade to the region. But this positive legacy has been accompanied by a history of personal injury and industrial disease, which has left Glasgow with some of the highest rates of work-related illness across the country.
The marine engineering and shipbuilding industry excellence that Glasgow cultivated has left a devastating toll in the form of asbestos diseases such as mesothelioma and asbestosis and has also resulted in many work accident injuries.

We are heavy weight campaigners for the rights of workers, and indeed anyone who has been harmed as a result of another person's or organisation's negligence and we strive to help them gain access to justice.
