Four people have issued High Court claims against the Daily and Sunday Mirror and The People, accusing the newspapers of phone hacking, their solicitor has told the BBC.
Solicitor Mark Lewis said the claims were filed against publisher Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) on Monday.
The four claimants include former England football manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
Trinity Mirror, which owns MGN, said it had no comment.
A spokesman for the newspaper group added: "We are unaware action has been taken at the High Court."
The three other claimants are Coronation Street actress Shobna Gulati; Abbie Gibson, a former nanny for the Beckham family; and Garry Flitcroft, the former captain of Blackburn Rovers football team.
Until now the UK phone hacking scandal has centred on Rupert Murdoch's News International, publisher of the Sun, and the now closed News of the World.
This is the first legal action in the scandal against another newspaper group.
Mr Lewis told the BBC that he would not be revealing what level of financial compensation his clients were seeking.
The phone hacking scandal resulted in the government setting up the independent Leveson Inquiry, led by Lord Justice Leveson. This is due to publish its findings, and proposals for the regulation of the UK press industry, by the end of the year.
