As a firm with an international outlook, Thompsons Solicitors has worked to build links abroad. Using the skills and experience gained in the UK, Thompsons was able to secure a landmark, multi million pound personal injury compensation for asbestos miners in South Africa and their families. All profits were reinvested and went towards establishing a law firm there, Narian and Associates, who are now investigating the possibility of litigation for other injured parties such as gold miners suffering from silicosis.
