The Firm Established in 2020, KP Law (previously Keller Postman) is a specialist litigation boutique, focussing on collective redress. The firm has over 100 employees across offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool, , representing over 250,000 individual clients across a range of cases in areas such as product liability, competition, worker rights, data breach and privacy and financial services. The firm’s ethos is to combine the best legal talent with a strong operational and technological platform to enable its clients to pursue cases that could not otherwise be brought against large corporates as a result of their wrongdoing.

All of its cases are for claimants and carried out under contingent fee agreements at no cost or risk to its clients.
