International plaintiffs firm Pogust Goodhead is preparing to leverage the rising demand for class actions in Australia, focusing particularly on the areas of mining and resources, environmental issues, technology, and employment laws. This was revealed by the firm’s principal in Australia.
The UK-based firm recently established a presence in Sydney as part of their strategy to undertake an environmental class action against BHP, one of Australia’s major mining corporations. However, Amie Crichton, who oversees the firm’s operations in Australia, confirmed that the lawsuit against BHP is just an initial step in their broader plan for the region.
“The firm sees in Australia a very strong opportunity”, said Crichton, which suggests that this move is likely aimed at capitalizing on this growing legal trend in Australia.
