Class Action
While any litigated matter may be serious, we understand that class actions can be especially onerous. Keeping this in mind, we are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to meet client goals in a cost effective manner. Our attorneys have represented the world’s biggest water company, an international pharmaceutical company, one of the world’s major retailers, and one of the largest national litigation support firms. We have also represented owners, contractors, truckers, lenders, manufacturers, brokers, lawyers, distributors, restaurants, medical suppliers, hotels, and debt collectors in class action suits. Our attorneys are experienced in all stages of class action litigation, including motions to bar class discovery, denial of certification, summary judgment, decertification, and interlocutory appeal and trial and have defended class actions in many different jurisdictions across the country.
Our class action practice covers the key substantive areas of the law. We defend a broad array of class claims, including:
Consumer Fraud
Breach of contract
Product
Negligence
Nuisance
Superfund (CERCLA)
Mass Tort
Medical Monitoring
Data Privacy
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA)
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
In addition, our class action attorneys have defended more than 40 class action lawsuits alleging a wide range of legal theories within the Labor & Employment arena, including FLSA, wage and hour laws, discrimination and wrongful discharge, and ERISA employee benefit claims.
