We run cases we believe in. The projects we take on challenge systemic discrimination, misconduct and neglect and inspire positive legislative, corporate and social change. We advocate for individuals and communities who have been treated unfairly, overlooked and exploited. We fight relentlessly for those we represent to secure justice and redress on their behalf.
JGA Saddler will hold governments and businesses accountable for failing to protect the environment. We have considerable experience litigating against local, state and federal governments in cases involving contamination of soil and groundwater, air pollution and mining and have achieved favourable judgments in the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal, in addition to settlements totalling more than $200 million in environmental class actions in the Federal Court.
We are passionate about defending the intrinsic rights of Australians and redressing the wrongs of state and federal governments. We have developed a strong rapport with and understand the cultural sensitivities of collaborating with First Nations communities and have unparalleled experience representing First Nations Australians in respect of wage theft and the Stolen Generation.
Our founders have pursued the country's largest financial institutions to recover damages on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Australians who sustained financial losses as a result of corporate mismanagement and greed. JGA Saddler will continue to hold banks, super funds and insurance companies to account for failing to protect their clients' best interests.
Our team has experience in a broad spectrum of class actions including product liability, financial services, human rights, environmental, consumer and securities cases. The litigation led by our founders has traversed technical and ground-breaking legal issues and has resulted in a number of long-running trials and numerous appeals, including several to the High Court of Australia.
Our founders are leaders in class actions practice in Australia, having been at the forefront of some of the country's most complex, high profile and hard-fought litigation. We have acted for consumers, shareholders and survivors in cases which have broken legal ground and held governments and global corporations to account.
