We are Pogust Goodhead (*)
Pogust Goodhead is a rapidly expanding global law firm that is passionate about getting access to justice for the victims of wrongdoing by large corporations.
We specialise in large scale group litigation against organisations that mistreat, mislead, or injure people.
Our Mission
We aim to become the world’s leading claimant law firms, fighting cases and causes that have the power to improve the lives of tens of millions of people.
Founded in 2018, we represent a diverse range of clients against multinational corporations, governments, and institutions around the world. The firm has already secured several landmark rulings to its name and has struck the largest ever litigation funding deal for a UK claimant law firm.
We have only just begun
A leader in environmental litigation
We have secured a landmark, unanimous judgment from the Court of Appeal that allows over 200,000 victims of the Mariana Dam disaster, Brazil’s worst ever environmental disaster, to seek redress against BHP, the world’s largest mining company, in the Courts of England and Wales. The judgement was secured following a four-year fight in the courts for justice over a disaster that killed 19 people and sent toxic waste over 700km down the Rio Doce River, destroying everything in its path.
Following the positive verdict in the Mariana dam disaster litigation, we were successful in securing the jurisdiction of the Dutch courts to hear a multi-billion dollar claim against Braskem, Latin America’s largest petrochemical company, on behalf of 10,000 people whose lives have been destroyed through losing their homes as a result of rock salt mining in the city of Maceió, Brazil. We also secured jurisdiction in the Dutch courts on behalf of thousands of victims against aluminium producer Norsk Hydro, over toxic waste pollution in Northern Brazil.
At the cutting edge of international consumer claims
We represent hundreds of thousands of clients throughout the UK and the world. We have secured historic settlements in the Volkswagen NOx Emissions Group Litigation in May 2022 and the British Airways Data Breach in 2021.
There is no other law firm in the world doing as much ground-breaking and cutting-edge work as Pogust Goodhead, resolute in holding the world’s largest companies and organisations accountable for their actions.
