Mining Industry Litigation

We offer lawyers with significant experience in litigation involving the mining industry, across several jurisdictions in areas including the following:

- Coal miners are in a number of states treated differently to other workers so far as their rights are concerned. Disputed claims are determined by specialised Tribunals. Rankin Nathan has had considerable experience acting in the coal mining jurisdiction.
