Amanda Jones

Job Titles:
  • Member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers
  • Regional Manager and Specialist Asbestos Lawyer
  • Regional Manager and Specialist Asbestos Lawyer / Llanelli
Amanda Jones is a partner of Thompsons Solicitors and a highly respected solicitor specialising in asbestos-related diseases. Having joined Thompsons in 2004, Amanda works between the Cardiff and Llanelli offices, but mainly the latter. She represents clients from all over Wales and the South West, most of whom are suffering from mesothelioma, an invariably fatal condition resulting from exposure to asbestos, often decades previously. Apart from taking her own caseload, Amanda also supervises the work of other lawyers in Bristol, Cardiff and Llanelli. Amanda not only represents men who have held industrial jobs, but many women who have contracted mesothelioma by handling the working clothes of family members. Many of the claims are highly complex, especially in cases where the companies concerned no long exist. However Amanda has a UK-wide reputation for tracking down defendants and winning the compensation her clients deserve in a timely manner. A key element of her job is keeping in close personal contact with the client who has been diagnosed with the disease, but also with family members. She makes a point of keeping them informed about the progress of their claims and speaking to them in plain English, rather than legal jargon. Amanda understands the paramount importance of treating them with respect and compassion during a period of high stress. Amanda's expertise is renowned beyond the legal profession and she has been a guest speaker at annual training sessions for senior doctors in Wales. She is a supporter of Mesothelioma UK, Asbestos Awareness & Support Cymru and South West Asbestos Support and Guidance. Outside work Amanda spends most of her spare time at the side of a football or rugby pitch supporting her sons who are keen athletes. She is also a governor of Coedcae Comprehensive School in Llanelli. Amanda was shortlisted for 'Claimant Lawyer of the Year' in the 13th Personal Injury Awards by Claims Media. Amanda has been a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers since 1999. It would be honest to say that Matthew had his misgivings about proceeding with the claim, but as soon as he met Amanda he let these go, and put his trust in her entirely. I have nothing but praise for Amanda's professionalism, patience and her consideration, this is echoed by the rest of the family. This isn't about her knowledge of the law, nor the success of the claim, this is about how she treated Matthew, and her consideration for how he is handling his diagnosis. At every stage Amanda treated Matthew with empathy and com-passion, and did everything in her power to make the process as simple as possible. Your support, wisdom and patience means a great deal. Amanda has over 15 years' legal experience and has helped many people across Wales receive compensation and support after being diagnosed with an asbestos disease.

In addition to dealing with cases across Cumbria and the North East, as national practice lead Andrew supervises the work of Thompsons asbestos teams around the country and is responsible for case management. With 18 years' experience of handling difficult, challenging and - more often than not - tragic cases through the courts and to the House of Lords, Andrew has gained a reputation as a lawyer who is sensitive, thorough and professional. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had Mr Venn and Thompsons Solicitors helping me through this tough time. Mr Venn took everything in hand and got the help I needed. He talked me through the forms and explained everything to me in plain terms and in the end got what he thought I was entitled to. He deserves a medal. Thank you.

Charlie Bradley

Job Titles:
  • Senior Specialist Asbestos Lawyer / Leeds
Charlie Bradley is a senior lawyer based in the Leeds office, helping clients who have been exposed to asbestos and their families across the Yorkshire and Humberside areas. Charlie has, over the 13 years since his qualification as a solicitor, worked on a variety of legal cases, including financial services and pensions. But he has always had a particular focus on personal injury claims and, since 2014, has specialised is asbestos-related disease cases, including lung cancers, mesothelioma, pleural thickening and asbestosis. He joined Thompsons in 2021. As well as acting for those who had direct and high-level exposure to asbestos, Charlie has worked with women who have low-dose mesothelioma claims, some exposed while working in the offices and canteens of factories, and others to asbestos brought home on the overalls of their family members. Charlie works closely with his clients to investigate claims and maximise the amount of compensation secured in the shortest time possible. With his calm approach, he is known for his sensitivity in dealing with both those suffering from an asbestos-related disease and their families, guiding them through what can be a challenging legal process at a very difficult time. Insurers are known to evade responsibility if they possibly can, and Charlie is equally determined to leave no stone unturned in investigating the source of exposure to asbestos and identifying a company/insurer paymaster to fully compensate his clients. For Charlie, the most rewarding part of working for Thompsons is being able to be unapologetic in his pursuit of a financial reckoning for his clients, with those who exposed them to asbestos and obtaining the maximum possible compensation to improve their lives and secure those of their loved ones. In his spare time, Charlie enjoys travelling, walking and spending time with his family.
