Legal crusader and all-round do-gooder Erin Brockovich is now back on TV screens across the US after being signed as the face of New York mass tort firm Weitz & Luxenberg’s new asbestos litigation campaign.

Brockovich, best known for being immortalised by Julia Roberts in a wonderbra, has taken on a consulting position with the firm, which has been stirring up the brown stuff for former asbestos producers since the late 1980s.
