In recent years, Lia’s practice has focused on mass claims and group actions. She is currently instructed by the Defendants in the Mercedes Benz NOx Emissions Litigation. She has acted in several sets of mass claims involving consumer credit and consumer contract law. These claims have involved allegations of (i) defective products (ranging from sofas to medical devices), (ii) the mis-selling of products (ranging from credit and insurance products to solar panels and timeshares), (ii) connected lender liability (i.e. under sections 56 and 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974), (iv) unfairness under section 140A of the 1974 Act, and/or (v) prohibited practices under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. Lia has also acted in mass tort claims involving claims for personal injury.
Employment law is another area of Lia’s practice. She has represented both employers and employees in a range of employment disputes.
The breadth of her experience (and its focus, from the early years of her practice, on court work) means that she is an experienced advocate able to deliver an effective and comprehensive service to her clients which draws on her experience of multiple practice areas and of all stages of the dispute resolution process (from pre-issue and interim hearings, through to trial and enforcement).
