Why work for us?
This is a unique opportunity to make a sizable impact on a landmark case while also advancing your career as a litigation lawyer.
In July 2022, we secured a unanimous landmark judgment from the Court of Appeal that allowed victims of the Mariana Dam disaster, Brazil’s worst-ever environmental disaster, to seek redress against the world’s largest mining company, BHP, in the Courts of England and Wales.
Since then, our claim has grown to become the largest opt-in class action in the world, and we are now representing over 700,000 clients including individuals, municipalities, businesses, Indigenous communities and faith-based institutions.
This case is about environmental damage, accountability for human rights as well as ensuring corporate accountability. Most importantly, it reinforces the legal precedent that companies that cause damage abroad can be held accountable where they are headquartered.
