Class Actions

Minter Ellison has been involved in many of Australia's most complex class actions, whether they arise from alleged infringements of the Corporations Act, competition law or contract, or in mass tort/product liability. Our dedicated national team of partners and lawyers are experts in class action litigation and recognise that claims run as class actions require unique strategies – they require carefully considered and planned approaches to related regulatory investigations, the management of defendants' corporate reputations, management of discovery, and early identification of defence counsel and experts.

We also regularly advise in relation to proactive, preventative measures to mitigate the risk of class actions arising or proceeding beyond a preliminary stage.

Minter Ellison has advised, or is advising, in relation to class actions brought against Sigma Pharmaceuticals, Qantas, MFS Investment Management Limited, Singapore Airlines, Opes Prime, Aristocrat Leisure Limited, Peet & Co Casey Land Syndicate Limited, Harris Scarfe, Kraft and Dow Corning.
