Class action trends, developments, and Shine Lawyers' next steps

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Shine Lawyers, we dive into the forces shaping Australia's class action landscape and what comes next for one of the country's leading plaintiff firms. From emerging litigation trends and the rise of big tech claims to innovation, scale and strategic growth, the conversation offers a timely look at where the market is heading and how Shine is helping lead it. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Shine Lawyers Head of Class Actions Craig Allsopp about his path in law, the passion that continues to drive his plaintiff practice, and his recognition as a finalist in the class actions category at the upcoming Partner of the Year Awards. The episode also explores Shine's push to deliver class actions more efficiently through technology and smarter cost management, its investment in international mass torts, its expanding national footprint, and its campaign to attract top legal talent to its high-performing class actions team. Together, these priorities reflect a firm with strong momentum, a clear market position, and an ambitious vision for the future of class actions in Australia.
