IT Applications Owner (Hiring Immediately)

Pogust Goodhead
London

About Us

Pogust Goodhead is passionate about championing justice for the victims of wrongdoing by large corporations. The firm is at the cutting edge of international consumer claims, including historic settlements in the Volkswagen NOx Emissions Group Litigation in May 2022 and the victims of the British Airways Data Breach in 2021. 

Pogust Goodhead is also a leader in environmental litigation. In July 2022 the firm secured a landmark, unanimous judgment from the Court of Appeal that allows over 700,000 victims of the Fundão Dam disaster, Brazil’s worst ever environmental disaster, to seek redress against the world's largest mining company, BHP, in the Courts of England and Wales. We were proud to be confirmed as winners of the Litigation Boutique firm of the year prize at The Lawyer Awards 2023, and were also name Boutique Law Firm of the Year at the British Legal Awards 2023, too.

As one of the world’s leading class action law firms, our mission is to level the playing field between individuals and businesses and large corporations. We recognise that there can be substantial barriers to justice for consumers, residents, victims, small business owners, and investors when weighed up against the financial resources of multinational corporations.
