Australia runs an opt-out class action system, so unlike the US there is no market for buying and selling claimant leads. The real challenge is different: identifying, engaging and mobilising potentially thousands of affected group members, many of whom have no idea they have grounds to join, and building enough participation and trust to make the case viable to litigation funders.
Under Australia's opt-out regime, every potential group member is automatically included in a class action unless they actively exclude themselves. That sounds like an advantage, but it means the people your case depends on are often unaware a claim even exists, scattered across the country, and unlikely to search for your firm by name. Building the numbers a case needs takes real outreach, not a waiting room.
At the same time, litigation funders have grown more cautious. Case quality, rigorous qualification and robust evidence now matter more than ever, and all of that depends on engaging the right group members in sufficient numbers, early enough to demonstrate the case is viable. Recent high-profile cases have also raised concerns about legal costs and transparency, so group members are more cautious about who they trust and why. Firms that communicate clearly and build genuine participation are the ones that get the numbers other firms can't.
None of them are about the merits of the case. All of them are fixable.
Under an opt-out system, most affected people never receive a direct notice. They find out only if they happen to search for what happened to them, and if your firm isn't visible when they do, they never hear from you at all.
Affected people search in their own words, not legal terms, and increasingly ask AI tools instead of Google. A firm that isn't built to be found and cited in both misses the moment people are actually looking.
Even an interested group member drops off without a simple, transparent way to register and understand what happens next. In a climate of real scrutiny over legal costs, unclear communication costs you participation.
Practice Proof works with law firms only, and has for over twenty years. Class action work is unlike almost any other practice area we support: success depends on reaching and mobilising large numbers of people who often don't know they're part of the case, not on converting people already searching for a lawyer.
Our AI-driven systems and proprietary software are built to identify where affected people are searching and asking, and to get your firm found and trusted there. Add a Certified StoryBrand methodology that makes complex legal processes easy to understand, and you have an approach built to turn awareness into registered group members.
One thing to be straight about: we're not a Goliath agency, and we don't take on every firm. We keep our client list small and work closely with each firm for years, some for over two decades. If we take you on, it's because we're confident we can genuinely help.
Simple, clear, and built to earn trust in a category under real scrutiny.
We show you exactly where affected people would find you today, and where they wouldn't, on Google, on AI platforms, and once they land on your site. No jargon, no obligation.
We build campaigns, content and landing pages designed to reach group members directly and give them a clear, transparent way to register interest. Run by senior strategists, backed by AI-driven systems, not handed to a junior or account manager.
You see it in the numbers: more group members identified and engaged, a clearer picture of participation, and the case-viability signals litigation funders want to see.
Start with the one that's costing you most, or have us run the lot. Either way it's built around how group members actually find out they have a claim.
Campaigns built to identify and reach potentially thousands of affected group members, not just people already searching for a lawyer.

You build the visibility and trust needed to reach group members at scale, growing registered participation you can point to, and giving your case the momentum funders and the court want to see.
Imagine a group member searching for what happened to them and finding your firm, clearly explaining what an opt-out class action means and what registering involves. That's not about outspending national campaigns. It's visibility and transparent communication built on twenty years of evidence about how people search and decide who to trust.
And you're never locked in or left alone. Come to us for one thing or the whole engine. Flat monthly fee, no hourly billing, no bill shock. If we build something for your team to run, we couple it with training and ongoing support, you always have us to call on.
Not in Australia. Unlike the US, there's no market for buying and selling claimant leads here, because the opt-out system already includes everyone affected. The work is making sure those people find out the case exists and understand what registering means.
Mostly through visibility at the moment they start looking for answers, on Google and increasingly through AI tools, plus clear, credible content that explains the case in plain English rather than legal terms.
Yes. With growing scrutiny over legal costs and transparency in class actions, group members are more cautious about who they engage with. Clear, honest communication is now part of what drives participation, not just awareness.
Yes. Most firms start building visibility and a registration pathway as soon as the litigation is public, because early participation numbers are part of what makes a case viable to a litigation funder in the first place.
