Bob Matheson is an associate solicitor at the human rights law firm, Leigh Day. Leigh Day is one of the leading law firms in claimant, and public interest, environmental litigation. It’s practice not only covers legal action in the UK but also against the acts of UK companies around the world.

Bob’s work at Leigh Day is focused on representing whistleblowers whose cases have an international, or cross-border, component. His clients have generally uncovered large scale wrongdoing or harm whilst working for western multi-nationals in the global south, and then have found their careers effectively ended when they have tried to bring these abuses to light.

Before joining Leigh Day, Bob worked for the whistleblowing NGO Protect (formerly Public Concern at Work), where he was the organisation’s Head of Advice & Advocacy.
