Class action boutique law firm Phi Finney McDonald was founded in 2017 by leading class action lawyers. Specialising in complex and large-scale class action litigation, the firm is regularly retained and publicly backed by the largest institutional investors around the world. Its clientele includes some of the largest and most influential pension schemes, private investors, sovereign wealth funds and investment platforms.
Ben Phi, Tim Finney and Odette McDonald are key principal lawyers at the firm with profound experience in class action disputes, both on the plaintiff and defendant sides.
The firm acted for a group of workers in a class action against Domino’s Pizza Enterprises for widespread underpayment of tens of thousands of delivery drivers and in-store workers employed at franchise stores. The claim is novel in that it is brought under the Australian Consumer Law alleging that Domino’s engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct about the terms and conditions that applied to the employment of workers at franchisees.
In 2023, the firm welcomed three principal lawyers who specialise in class action: Tania Noonan, Denée Muller, and Joel Phibbs.
