Class Action
Overview
Complexity, Simplified
When facing a potential class action lawsuit, you want a defense team behind you that has substantial success navigating the complexities involved. Brooks Pierce’s record on class action and multiple-plaintiff lawsuits speaks for itself.
Our team frequently defends class actions brought by nationally-known class action plaintiffs’ firms. In addition to certified class action suits, we have also defended against multiple lawsuits or suits with multiple plaintiffs that arise from a common event or corporate practice. We are able to conduct successful defenses against far-flung class action lawsuits in a cost-effective manner by employing the latest trial technology and staffing our litigation teams efficiently.
