Peta is a partner in the Dispute Resolution team in our Sydney office, where she specialises in competition and consumer protection litigation. Peta manages a successful litigation practice, with an established track record leading complex litigation, including class actions and regulatory litigation.
Peta's competition and consumer protection practice consists of advice to a range of financial institutions, tech companies and traditional blue-chip clients on market inquiries, competition regulatory investigation and enforcement matters (including criminal prosecutions), as well as acting in private litigation for damages and other relief, including class actions.
Earlier this month we wrote about the introduction of a new class action regime in France which would permit duly authorised consumer associations to commence proceedings requesting damages for individual harm suffered by consumers placed in a similar or identical situation as a result of anti-competitive practices.
