Our partnership with Cheshire Asbestos Victims Support Group

Why choose Slater and Gordon as your legal representative?

The Cheshire Asbestos Victims Support Group was formed in 1992, by members / volunteers who had been actively involved in campaign issues, relating to asbestos, since the early 1980’s. The group gained Charity Status in 1994. The group changed its direction from campaign work to support work for victims of asbestos related diseases and their families. The intention was to ensure that all those who were affected by asbestos diseases had access to help, information, advice and support.

We understand how vital the work Cheshire Asbestos Victims Support Group is, and strive to use their several years of knowledge to getting you the asbestos compensation that you deserve.
