Descriptiontext

KP Law Limited is a private specialist collective redress law firm headquartered at 75 High Holborn, London, with additional offices in Liverpool, Birmingham, and Manchester, serving clients across England and Wales. The firm operates exclusively on a Conditional Fee Agreement ("No Win, No Fee") basis, paired with third-party litigation funding, which allows it to pursue large, well-funded corporate defendants without upfront cost to claimants. Authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (registration 661050), KP Law was constituted in its current form in 2023 through the merger of Keller Postman UK Limited and Lanier, Longstaff, Hedar & Roberts LLP, having launched in 2020 as Keller Lenkner UK.

The firm's core product is group litigation and multi-claimant actions, with active practice areas spanning data breach and cybercrime claims, product liability (talc, 3M hearing loss), competition claims (including a £25 billion Google search advertising claim and Mastercard/Visa actions), equal pay claims for supermarket workers at Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco, diesel emissions claims against manufacturers including Vauxhall and Mercedes-Benz, investment fraud and mis-selling (including a £150 million Binance action for ~1,700 investors), workers' rights (Uber drivers, military pension mis-selling), abuse and exploitation claims, commercial litigation, and a nascent social media addiction claim category developed with US trial lawyer Mark Lanier. Customers are individual consumers and workers (the firm represented 21,000+ Vauxhall claimants and over 100,000 clients by end of 2021), with revenue mechanics driven by CFA success fees, capped at 25% (inclusive of VAT) of damages for pain-and-suffering elements, and shared common costs across claimants under Group Litigation Orders.

KP Law's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: web, phone (0333 038 2411), email, and office visits, complemented by earned media in national press, partnerships with unions such as ADCU and industry body CORLA, and a sales/cost structure weighted toward litigation risk capital rather than billing hours. Distribution is domestic UK only, and the firm builds its pipeline by launching high-profile group actions with mass-claimant cohorts, then aggregating them via funded litigation. Success fee caps of 25% on injury damages and the absence of disclosed revenue limit visibility into unit economics, but the scale of the case portfolio (including a £193 million VW emissions settlement in 2022, £1 billion+ J&J talc claims, and a £25 billion Google filing) indicates a multi-million-pound fee base against a relatively modest fixed headcount footprint across four offices.

The legal action names both J&J and its consumer health spinout Kenvue as defendants, seeking damages that could extend to "hundreds of millions of pounds" in what is described as potentially the largest product liability case in UK history. The filing comes days after a California jury ordered J&J to pay $966 million to the family of a woman who died from mesothelioma, and amid ongoing global litigation over whether J&J knew its talc products contained asbestos and failed to warn consumers.Investing.comJ&J faces first UK lawsuits alleging its baby powder caused cancerJohnson & Johnson is facing its first lawsuits in Britain over allegations that its talc products caused cancer, with the lawsuit filed at the English High Court by KP Law on behalf of more than 3,000 people alleging ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, or other diseases caused by use of J&J's baby powder between 1965 and 2023. The claim is estimated at around 1 billion pounds, as J&J fights tens of thousands of similar lawsuits in the United States where it was recently ordered to pay $966 million to the family of a woman who died from mesothelioma. Kenvue, J&J's former consumer health unit that was spun off in 2023, said it retained responsibility for talc-related litigation outside the United States and Canada and maintained that J&J baby powder did not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer.
