Crafting A Defense Strategy Against Class Actions
Defending a class action lawsuit requires a thorough analysis of each layer of these complex claims. Our lawyers work closely with clients to assess the potential damages to craft the best legal strategy to serve their interests.
Plaintiffs’ firms frequently recruit large numbers of potential class members to increase the potential damages exposure. A large-scale class can severely prejudice a defendant. The risk of exposure to damages is magnified. Subtle differences between the class representatives’ experiences may confuse a jury to the detriment of a defendant. Our lawyers comprehensively review opportunities to challenge class certification and class representatives to ensure that our clients’ interests are well-protected.
Our thorough review of the class claims includes a detailed analysis of the likelihood of class members bringing individual lawsuits on the underlying claims in the absence of class certification. Defending against multiple lawsuits can significantly increase the time, expense and transactional costs of litigation. A streamlined approach to settling or litigating one lawsuit may be better suited for obtaining a favorable and cost-effective solution.
