Class Action Litigation

With the increasing scale and reach of business and government, growth in big data and greater availability of litigation funding, Group Litigation is more common than ever. We are experienced in managing and defending collective actions in this specialist area of litigation.

We can advise on collective actions involving employment matters, commercial failures, financial claims and regulatory infringements. Our experience extends to the arranging and challenging the funding behind group litigation. This includes:
