Environment: Claimant - UK-wide
What the Team is Known For
Pogust Goodhead is a growing practice acting on the claimant side in large-scale environmental litigation. It has particular expertise in handling group claims originating in Brazil, but also represents affected clients in the UK and further afield. The lawyers regularly handle issues concerning water contamination and emissions.
Strengths
Their communication is outstanding and driven by a systematic process to ensure there are regular meetings with clients. I have never felt that I am receiving unnecessary or irrelevant communication.
The firm is not afraid to undertake bold steps in litigation, bringing cases others wouldn’t because they are so challenging.
Work Highlights
Pogust Goodhead represented over 620,000 claimants in landmark litigation against two entities of the BHP group in England and Australia regarding the Fundão Dam collapse.
