OUR EXPERTISE

We provide high quality and market leading legal services to the largest insurers in the industry. That experience means that we understand what is most important to an insurer when they are faced with having to resolve a dispute.

It is expected that class actions in both Australia and other jurisdictions will continue to increase in prominence across a broad range of areas including shareholder/investor claims, consumer and product liability claims, antitrust/competition claims and claims arising from natural disasters such as bushfires and floods. The nature and size of such disputes, if not managed effectively, can lead to long and costly litigation giving rise to broader risk and exposure. William Roberts’ class action team are experienced in managing class action matters on behalf of claimants, defendants or to act for and advise other stakeholders in such disputes, such as insurers (including ATE insurers) and funders.

We deliver specialist expert advice in the domestic and commercial spheres to home owners, developers, builders, architects, engineers, service providers, suppliers and insurers.
