FREE CASE EVALUATION Menu ABOUT STRONGER TOGETHER Courts and clients routinely choose Seeger Weiss for our proven experience, innovative approach, and substantial recoveries in class action lawsuits. A class action is a lawsuit brought by individuals or entities on behalf of a larger group who’ve been injured or damaged by similar products, fraud, or unlawful conduct. By allowing class members to bring one collective lawsuit, a class action makes it efficient and economical to sue a large company or institution—even if the damage to each class member is small or it would be too difficult or expensive to sue on your own. A class action allows members to stand stronger together, whether they are a few or a few thousand.

Working in conjunction with U.S. government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, Seeger Weiss served on the plaintiffs’ steering and settlement committees and as one of the lead negotiators, helping recover a $21 billion corporate settlement, the largest in history.
