Class actions are seeing a significant period of growth across the world. Recent legislative reforms, such as the EU’s Representative Actions Directive, are driving change and awareness of group litigation beyond the US and across Europe.

In this third episode, Jennifer Miles is joined by Kymberly Kochis, Partner and Co-Head of the Insurance Litigation and Class Action groups. Kymberly provides insights into the extensive class action landscape in the United States, highlighting the various class action regimes and how they differ, particularly in state court proceedings.

Topics covered in this episode include:

  • class action regime in the United States
  • whether class actions proceed on an opt-in or opt-out basis
  • who decides the class action?
  • current trends in class actions
