Portuguese-Speaking Client Service Agent — Litigation

About Us

Pogust Goodhead is a leading London‑based law firm specialising in group litigation and class actions. We are dedicated to championing justice for individuals, communities, and businesses affected by corporate wrongdoing, with a strong focus on access to justice and collective redress. Our work includes landmark cases such as the Volkswagen NOx emissions group litigation, which resulted in a major settlement for UK motorists affected by Dieselgate emissions cheating, with further NOx‑related claims and proceedings continuing as part of our wider emissions litigation work. In environmental litigation, we represent hundreds of thousands of claimants in the Fundão Dam disaster case against BHP – one of the largest environmental claims ever brought before the English courts. Recognised for excellence and innovation in claimant‑side litigation, we have been shortlisted for and received multiple industry awards, including recognition from The Lawyer Awards and the British Legal Awards, among others. Our mission is simple – to level the playing field between individuals and powerful corporations, wherever harm has been caused.
