LawLex’s leading class action team, supported by our extensive European network, develops and executes cohesive defense strategies for cross-border cases.
With class actions on the rise in Europe, corporations increasingly face simultaneous claims in multiple jurisdictions. LawLex’s unparalleled European presence enables us to mount a robust defense while managing reputational and regulatory risks.
Class action risk varies by jurisdiction, with differing opt-in and opt-out mechanisms creating a complex legal landscape. We tailor holistic defense strategies to address specific threats, identifying key fault lines and dispositive tactics. Our technology-driven approach enhances efficiency, particularly in handling the logistical challenges of opt-in claims. Meanwhile, the emergence of opt-out claims in Europe requires distinct legal strategies, which we expertly navigate.
Recognizing that class actions often reach board-level attention, we support clients throughout the process—delivering strategic, effective, and results-driven defense solutions.
