Over £12,000 pay-outs for personal and sensitive information leaks

In respect of any breaches involving particularly personal and sensitive information, compensation pay-outs can be substantial. We have settled a number of cases for over £12,000.

This is above our average and reflects the nature of the seriousness of such breaches, and it is also likely more than what some other law firms may be prepared to settle similar cases for. We know this because we are aware of other law firms settling claims for reduced amounts or taking earlier offers, whereas we are prepared to fight harder to make sure we get the best justice possible.
