The Foreign Exchange Cartel Class Action is being brought in relation to alleged price-fixing in the foreign exchange market. In this case, Kimi acts on behalf of a broad cross-section of Australian businesses that trade internationally and some of the country’s major investment funds that have been exposed to, and damaged by, the alleged price-fixing behaviour.

Kimi has a strong history of running cases that hold powerful organisations to account for mass wrongdoing, and played a pivotal role in resolving the $500million Kilmore Black Saturday class action for thousands of Victorian bushfire victims.

In addition to holding an honours degree in law and an Arts degree from the University of Melbourne, Kimi holds an MBA from the Melbourne Business School.  As such, she brings specialist financial, economic and data analytical skills to her role as a specialist class action litigator and to her role as an Executive Director of Maurice Blackburn.
