When aggressive action demands a calculated response.
Defending class actions requires a unique combination of strategy, timing and patience. They encompass everything from sprawling discovery to navigating class certification battles, orchestrating strategic settlements and, just when you think it is all over, managing likely appeals. While many attorneys know their way around a voluminous complaint or the halls of a courthouse, class action defense simply demands more. More experience, better strategic planning, closer client collaboration and, ultimately, a verdict or settlement that keeps client businesses on pace and thriving.
Our class action defense team works closely with clients to mount effective, tailored defenses from day one — whether your focus is containment, dismissal, or minimizing exposure at every stage. We understand that these types of claims have huge financial and reputational stakes, and we keep those at the forefront in everything we do, until it is all said and done.
We defend clients across a broad spectrum of industries in class action matters brought under both state and federal statutes. Our past matters involve:
- Consumer protection and false-advertising claims
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices (UDAP/UCL/analogous state statutes)
- Antitrust and competition class actions
- Securities, RICO, and shareholder class claims
- Business litigation class actions
By combining a deep well of class action knowledge with a practical, business-first approach, we are prepared to defend our clients through trial, appeals and/or settlement, while adjusting for risk tolerance, reputational concerns and business priorities at every step along the way. We look forward to steering your business interests out of harm’s way and into calmer waters.
