The explosion of class actions is one of the most serious developments businesses have faced in decades.
With extensive experience across multiple jurisdictions, our global Litigation team is equipped to advise you on cases of any size or severity. We’ve defended more than 200 attempted class actions in the last five years alone. We always focus on defeating the action early, wherever possible, by preventing class certification and helping you avoid protracted and expensive litigation.
Our lawyers can offer you specific subject-matter experience in a variety of industries and businesses that regularly face class actions, including securities, construction, consumer finance, property, casualty and life insurance, and professional services. Our experience also includes defending employment, FLSA and ERISA collective and class actions. We’ve defended everyone from Fortune 500 companies to individual directors and partners.
With the increase of multi-district litigation in the US, our success lies in mastering the mechanics of class and mass actions and related areas such as contested removals, MDL proceedings, arbitration and appeals. And while class actions are not part of the legal landscape outside the US in quite the same way, many jurisdictions are now developing their own forms of collective action.
With our substantial global Litigation practice, based in offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, we’re equally ready to mobilize the right lawyers for you, wherever you are - even if you’re facing the challenges of multiple claims outside the US. We’ll also help you manage any reputational issues and media impact arising from crisis situations and high-profile litigation.
