Civil Litigation

Gudrun undertakes personal injury cases with a particular emphasis on occupational disease litigation, including noise induced hearing loss and stress cases. Recent cases include a complex case involving an employer of a large organisation suing a former employer for stress related psychiatric illness and one of the first “modern day slavery” cases, in which she represented a defendant company accused of trafficking workers from Lithuania and perpetrating a number of human rights abuses against them. The defendant company was widely reported in the press as being the “worst gangmaster in the UK”.
