We are leaders in class action and mass action litigation and have defended class actions in virtually every industry and area of law. With experience in key areas of class actions, including consumer, antitrust securities and product liability matters, we have defeated requests for certification, won dismissals, and prevailed in state and federal courts and on appeal in precedent-setting and notable high-stakes cases.
Our practice is national in scope, including the recent defense of a nationwide class action in the wood-products industry alleging violations of the antitrust laws and seeking $4.5 billion in damages. We are equally skilled at protecting our clients from threatened class actions, such as defeating requests for certification of a nationwide class of more than 13,000 putative class members in a product liability matter. Our victories include bet-the-company class actions in the technology, transportation, pharmaceutical, financial services, manufacturing and health care industries encompassing claims of consumer pricing, fraud, and tax violations.
