Class Actions

The appropriateness of class certification depends on whether there is a common impact (harm) suffered by all the members of the class and whether a common method or formula can be used to quantify this impact. Establishing or defeating class certification is often a critical component in litigation and it requires a unique set of skills. Our experts have extensive experience in evaluating the appropriateness of classes for cases involving a wide variety of allegations in a number of different industries. We are adept at applying econometric analysis and economic theory to complex issues, and on numerous occasions have presented opinions that have been instrumental in establishing or defeating class certification.
