The broad litigation experience and deep sector knowledge of our lawyers makes us well-placed to handle complex class actions affecting all industries and jurisdictions.
Effectively managing a class action suit takes more than legal knowledge; astute case management skills and a thorough understanding of our client's objectives are vital components of a successful pleading. Our global network and industry knowledge come into their own in these cases, offering clients a consistently high quality of attention and pragmatic advice wherever they are in the world.
Our class action group defends major corporates, insurers and influential individuals against class action law suits, involving a range of issues from product liability and consumer protection to securities and shareholder actions. A small number of our lawyers also act as class counsel, representing groups of plaintiffs in these actions.
Our lawyers have experience in every aspect of class action practice, from obtaining and defeating class certification to prosecuting and defending complex class action trials, always recognising that class actions can amount to business critical litigation for the organisation concerned. Our skilled litigators are also able to call on our broader disputes practice, particularly in those sectors regularly targeted for class actions such as healthcare, financial services and retail and consumer.
