Class Action Litigation

A class action lawsuit allows injured persons to seek redress for even small or minor infractions which otherwise might go unchallenged. A consumer class action is a powerful legal tool that allows a single person – the class representative – to bring a case to represent all the individuals harmed by the same wrongdoing – the class – to protect the public from these dishonest business practices. The class representative then litigates the issues on behalf of all similarly situated consumers. All similarly situated consumers are part of the class action and will be entitled to participate in the settlement if the case settles. By joining forces, consumers with similar complaints can consolidate resources and are often able to obtain a more substantial settlement than if pursued individually. In addition to monetary settlements, class action settlements can require the company to suspend its unlawful practices, be more transparent and provide better information to consumers, and generally improve their business practices toward consumers.

Class action lawsuits are highly complex, legally demanding and require a significant commitment of time. They require a law firm with the financial and intellectual resources to position the case in the best possible way to obtain justice. Our attorneys bring a unique perspective to class action litigation because we trained at major international law firms where we obtained experience representing corporate defendants in such cases. This unique perspective enables us to anticipate and successfully counter the strategies commonly employed by corporate counsel defending class action litigation. In addition, because class actions present such high-stakes litigation for corporate defendants, our ability to skillfully oppose motions to dismiss the case at an early stage before the class has a chance to have a judge or jury consider the merits of its claims is critical to obtaining relief for our clients. Our attorneys are extremely experienced in all aspects of class action litigation having litigated more than 350 class cases to date.
