Class action litigation is high stakes and often involves “bet the company” decisions by the businesses and decision makers facing such litigation. Klinedinst’s Class Actions group understands this, and has substantial experience in navigating clients through the complexities of class action litigation.

Class actions are some of the most complex lawsuits to handle, often due to the sheer volume of information which must be collected, organized, and utilized in the defense of such matters. Each class action case is unique, often involving multiple parties such as shareholders, consumers, retailers, insurers, and suppliers, and frequently with long-term strategic consequences to the affected businesses. Our attorneys employ proactive and strategic defenses to assist their clients in defeating class claims.

In some cases, resolution of the litigation on a class wide basis may be in the client’s best interests. When a client makes this strategic decision, Klinedinst attorneys are able to craft settlements that protect their clients’ long-term business and litigation interests.
