Class Actions

Class actions enhance access to consumers by providing relief where individual claims might not be large enough to substantiate legal action.  This access likewise enhances the already substantial risks facing US companies, which include inflated jury awards intended to punish large companies, an active plaintiffs’ bar fueled by the incentive of contingency fees, the absence of cost-shifting (as is present in Europe), and pretrial discovery.  We defend class actions from certification through trial and appeal.
