Mohamed Al Fayed & Harrods Abuse Claims Frequently Asked Questions

Can Irwin Mitchell takeover from my current solicitors?

Yes, if you’re not happy with the progress of your claim with your solicitors and want another opinion, we’re happy to help.

We can also take over your claim if you decide this is the way you wish to proceed.

What is a group claim, and will it be beneficial to me?

A group claim lets individuals who’ve experienced abuse from the same person make a claim as a collective.

This can be beneficial because you save money on legal fees, and you aren’t as likely to need to go to court. The court will likely only call on a couple of survivors to provide their statement about the abuse.

With the high influx of claims against Al Fayed, it’s likely we’ll be able to use your claim as part of a wider group claim.
