Class actions are high-stakes, time-consuming, and costly, and they can present a substantial risk to the livelihood of your business. That’s why it’s critical to have defense counsel knowledgeable about and experienced in the specialized issues involved in these actions.
Our national team has won landmark rulings and served as counsel in some of the largest multi-state and stand-alone class actions. We combine the substantive knowledge of industry practices with our team’s procedural experience in class action defense.
We have a proven track record of obtaining early dismissals and denials of class certification motions, as well as defense verdicts and favorable settlements. Having taken class actions to trial, Mintz Levin attorneys are prepared to address each class action on its merits, rather than viewing settlement as the sole means of resolving class action litigation.
