Smart Defense of Class Actions

In this economy, when a company is hit with any lawsuit, the time, money and effort spent in defense can be enormous, regardless of the outcome. Certification of a class can undermine the bottom line. And during these turbulent times, the reverberations of mass layoffs, disenfranchised investors, unhappy consumers, and a hungry plaintiffs’ bar have broad implications for class action litigation.
