Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Join the Claim is now working alongside some of the UK’s top data breach lawyers on three high-profile group actions: Marks & Spencer, the Co-op, and the Legal Aid Agency.
Commenting on the latest partnerships, Jordan Clayton, founder of Join the Claim, said:
“These three data breach cases are a stark reminder of what’s at stake when companies and public bodies fail to take data protection seriously. Legal action sends a clear message: if you mishandle people’s personal data, there are consequences.”
He added:
“Join the Claim is not a law firm. Instead, we play a unique role in the group action ecosystem: identifying potential claimants, streamlining eligibility, and boosting consumer engagement to help law firms build strong books of business efficiently and at scale.”
“We’re proud to be working with some of the UK’s best litigation lawyers across England, Wales and Scotland to help bring justice to those affected by these serious breaches.”
Across these three cases, the total number of affected individuals runs into the hundreds of thousands. The claims relate to widespread breaches of personal data, each with far-reaching implications for privacy rights and organisational accountability.
The law firms leading the litigation bring a strong track record in complex group claims, ensuring these actions are well-positioned for success.
“Our partnerships are carefully chosen,” said Clayton. “We only work with firms that combine legal expertise with a shared commitment to consumer rights.”
Earlier this month, the M&S data breach triggered an unprecedented surge in public interest, with the involvement of such a well-known high street brand putting digital privacy and consumer rights firmly in the national spotlight.
Join the Claim, which connects people affected by data breaches and consumer rights violations with trusted UK law firms, has seen a sharp and sustained increase in the use of its eligibility checker since the M&S cyberattack, with daily registrations approaching the 1,000 mark.
