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.
