Class Actions

A class-action lawsuit is the consolidation of several related lawsuits into one. An individual may join a class action lawsuit if the individual's injuries and legal issues are substantially similar to the other class members. Because it is common to have hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs alleging injury in class actions, it is critical to be represented by a firm with both the human resources and skills to sift through the large volume of documents generated, and to evaluate the plaintiffs' claims efficiently. We have many years of experience in handling class actions. We have defended companies and individuals in cases involving exposure to asbestos, silica and toxic chemical, as well as commercial matters including securities and business torts.
