Publicly traded plaintiffs’ law firm Slater & Gordon, a leader in Australia in the plaintiffs’ securities class action area, expects strong growth in fiscal 2009 as it beefs up resources to meet demand for its services amid fallout from the economic crisis.
The West Australian reports that the Melbourne-based law firm’s Managing Director, Andrew Grech, forecasts continued “strong organic growth” and states that “the economic crisis is increasing activity levels in commercial and project litigation. Slater & Gordon have committed additional resources to our project litigation groups in order to meet demand for legal services in the areas of securities and financial products litigation.”
