Woodsford, a global leader in collective redress, is organising and funding a class action in Australia to recover compensation for Australian-domiciled website and app publishers who have suffered financial losses as a result of Google’s misuse of market power in the advertising technology sector.

​

This class action relates to global misconduct by Google. It follows proceedings that have been brought against Google by the US Department of Justice and the Canadian Competition Bureau, as well as investigations and preliminary findings by the European Commission and the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority, and a settlement by Google with the French regulator. It also follows similar class actions and group litigation in the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands.

​

If you are domiciled in Australia and have had a website or app and sold advertising space using Google’s ad tech platforms, you can join the Australian class action as a group member.

​

The relevant ad tech tools are:

​

1. Google Ad Manager (GAM);

2. Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP);

3. Google Ad Exchange (AdX); and

4. Google AdSense or AdMob.​

​​

Participation in the action as a group member will be confidential so Google will not become aware of the identity of group members. Group members will be legally represented by Piper Alderman and benefit from a team of other specialists and experts assembled by Woodsford.
