Our approach
Our legal teams, business consultants, insurance experts and innovation & process specialists provide integrated legal support designed to defend the biggest class actions.
Unparalleled
experience
Our teams have advised on some of the biggest class action cases spanning multiple jurisdictions and across a variety of sectors, giving us first hand and unrivalled experience.
Technology driving automation and scale
Led by our team of litigators and supported by our legal operations teams, we are able to deliver efficiencies, automation and scale to significant advantage in managing the volume claims processes that class actions require.
Advisors in
'at risk' areas
Our experts have an extensive record of advising and successfully defending corporations and/or their insurers, both pre-action and through the High Courts, in areas which pose the highest risk for class actions. These include, ESG, Data/Cyber, Personal Injury and Content & Product Liability.
ESG class actions often involve complex legal and regulatory frameworks across various disciplines.
DWF has a multidisciplinary team that collaborates closely, bringing together expertise in environmental law, corporate governance, sustainability, compliance, and risk management. This holistic approach enables us to address the multifaceted aspects of ESG class actions and provide comprehensive advice to clients.
Data breaches can have severe consequences for individuals and organisations, leading to potential privacy violations, financial losses, reputational damage, and more.
Our experience in representing clients in such cases enables us to anticipate challenges, identify liability issues, and develop effective defence strategies to protect the interests of our clients.
Personal injury class actions
require a multidisciplinary approach, involving expertise in medical sciences, accident reconstruction, and economic evaluations, while balancing the interests of numerous stakeholders.
We have a diverse team with a wealth of experience in compiling the evidence and collaborating to analyse the various aspects of personal injury cases. This approach leads to the production of a compelling defence, or the negotiation
of a strong commercial settlement in class actions of this nature.
We assist clients in implementing effective content and product risk management strategies to mitigate liability risks providing guidance on product development, labelling, warnings, and compliance with relevant safety regulations.
By helping clients proactively address liability concerns, we strengthen the defence in potential class actions and minimise risks associated with defective, unsafe or misleading products
and content.
