  • Big 6 Dominate Class Action Defence, but Plenty of Work to Go Around
    Big 6 dominate class action defence, but plenty of work to go around Business of Law August 12, 2019 Cat Fredenburgh Melbourne Many commercial dispute resolution groups in Australia are getting a boost from class action defence work, as more parties get dragged into increasingly complex representative proceedings. But the Big Six firms are still the ones companies turn to the most when staring down a class action. Boasting deep benches, global expertise and major litigation chops, the Big Six firms scored the top spots on Lawyerly's ranking of the firms involved in the most class actions before the courts, with Herbert Smith Freehills by far the favourite for companies seeking a top-notch class action defence, with 26 class actions on its plate. Together Herbert Smith Freehills, King Wood & Mallesons, Clayton Utz, Allens, MinterEllison and Ashurst have cornered around 44 per cent of the market, but many other firms have managed to get a piece of the pie. In addition to the Big Six, seven firms made it onto Lawyerly's inaugural ranking of the top class action defence firms, working on at least four class actions apiece. In total, 52 firms are representing respondents in one or more active class actions across Australia. Herbert Smith Freehills partner Damian Grave told Lawyerly the firm has an unparalleled depth of experience in class actions. "We are widely regarded as Australia’s pre-eminent class action defence firm, having defended some of the largest and most complex class actions in Australia over the last 25 years and often assisting clients in navigating multi-jurisdictional issues, competing claims, as well as issues involving multiple defendants," Grave said.
