Class Action
DefenseOur Class Action Defense practice is a nationwide
leader. Our experience spans industries and subject
matters, and we have litigated class action cases invirtually every major jurisdiction throughout thecountry. In the past five years, we have representedclients in hundreds of class actions, the vast majority ofwhich have been dismissed or effectively resolved at an
early stage in the litigation and on terms favorable toour clients. Consistent with our clients’ interests in thesecases, we typically push for early dismissal orresolution through aggressive motion practice, but weare also uniquely experienced and capable to try thesecases to conclusion. We are one of the few firms withactual experience trying class actions to verdict.
We have deep experience representing clients who facelarge numbers of class actions. Our clients are sophisticatedconsumers of the services that our practice offers, and foryears, we have proven adept at partnering with these clientsto defend class action claims. Our experience and value
have also benefited clients who face class litigation lessfrequently, whether in cases that are viewed as mere
nuisance or those that challenge significant businesspractices.
Our success in class actions stems from our unparalleledexperience. We have learned the defenses and argumentsthat are most likely to prevail on behalf of our clients,
whether on the merits or in defense of class certification,
and we know enough to recognize those claims that are
more appropriate for early or class-wide resolution.
Trusting our class action practice allows our clients to tap
into this experience and know-how.
