Response to the Commission's green paper on legal aid

United Kingdom

CMS Cameron McKenna is a large transnational law firm based in London. Part of our practice involves advising manufacturers and insurers on liability risk and defending claims, for example in the areas of personal injury, health and safety in the work place, product liability and environmental damage. We are known as leading experts in most of these areas and have published widely in them both in books and learned articles. Our practice extends across the whole of the EU in a number of respects relevant to this subject. First, we are linked with other law firms in other Members States who are partners in CMS. Secondly, we co-ordinate networks of lawyers throughout Europe who handle product liability, insurance and health and safety claims.
