New 12KBW Publication

This new publication is a unique practice guide, and part of the highly popular Butterworths Personal Injury Service PI Series. The book provides a comprehensive guide to the practicalities of the complex area of asbestos litigation. Drawing upon the expertise of the 12KBW asbestos "big four" (Andrew Hogarth QC, Ronald Walker QC, Frank Burton QC and Alan Gore QC) it covers the history of asbestos disease and regulation, medical issues, apportionment, pursuit of dissolved and insolvent companies, insurance cover, limitation and a unique section on quantum incorporating many awards unreported elsewhere.

"Frank Burton QC is especially praised for his sympathetic way with clients and calm and careful efficiency in court..." (Chambers and Partners 2005)
