Class Action Litigation
Our firm has in-depth experience evaluating, coordinating and litigating large class action suits on a nationwide basis.In the employment law arena, we tried, to a successful conclusion, an employment-related class action suit interpreting provisions of a collective bargaining agreement of a chain of grocery stores. We also represented a Fortune 200 company in a nationwide sex discrimination suit brought by the EEOC and a national plaintiff class. We have defended class action claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as well.
Our firm's commercial litigators have also successfully resolved numerous class action lawsuits involving other substantive issues. From statewide consumer class actions to federal multi-district business and tort litigation, our lawyers focus on the critical issues in these cases: class definition and certification, early alternate dispute resolution strategies and precisely crafted discovery on pertinent liability and damages issues. We work with our clients to resolve the current litigation and avoid future lawsuits with a proactive risk management approach.
