A track record of innovation and ingenuity
Class actions are a well-established feature of commercial litigation and continue to increase apace in progressively more diverse and sophisticated ways.
Successfully defending class action proceedings requires particular skills and resources to deal with complex legal issues, vast quantities of information, and often litigation in multiple jurisdictions. Subject matter expertise in complex corporate, competition and public and product liability areas is critical.
