Mr Briggs leads the firm’s Australian environment, planning and communities team, while Mr Betts is a partner in the class actions department.

They discuss the responsibility of businesses to disclose the risks they face from climate change, as well as the likelihood of a shareholder class action being filed if they fail to do so.

While no major environmental class actions have been commenced in Australia yet, the two experts say it is only a matter of time and clients need to be prepared.
