In the first episode of this mini-series on class actions, Ashurst’s Tim West, Jon Gale, and Anna Morfey set the scene by highlighting emerging trends and legal developments.
With class action risk rising up corporate agendas, we’re launching a new mini-series to explore the emerging risks and trends for business leaders to watch out for. We’ll speak with legal experts from across the globe to bring you fresh perspectives and analysis to help your organisation stay ahead of the curve.
Our mini-series kicks off in London, where three Ashurst lawyers explain the basics of class actions and their growing prominence. Tim West, Jon Gale and Anna Morfey reflect on the differences between UK, US and Australian class actions and the different ways to bring claims.
The trio also discuss the Competition Appeal Tribunal regime and some of the unique challenges for defendants, including potential for actions occurring
in multiple jurisdictions. And they emphasise the need for companies to proactively consider reputational risks posed by class actions.
