The Fieldfisher law firm that represents Greenfield said, “Ms. Greenfield, who was instructed by her client less than a month ago, said she had had to act swiftly to protect her client’s ability to bring a claim so many years after the assault.” The firm’s statement also said the claim is expected to exceed £300,000 or $400,000.
