Class action lawsuits that can be easily joined with minimal financial and time costs expose businesses to financial and reputational risks. A smart strategy is crucial in this regard as the outcome of the class action lawsuit is pivotal for the outcome of any subsequent individual lawsuits in relation to the same matter of dispute against the company.
A class action lawsuit may become a dangerous competition tool as it can be used by competitors who would provide financial, PR and legal support to the plaintiff group, thus making it more difficult for the defendant to handle the dispute.
The BGP Litigation team has handled the most high-profile class action lawsuits acting for both defendants and plaintiffs. We advise clients at the mediation phase, mitigate our clients' pre-trial financial and reputational losses, and provide comprehensive litigation support in the courtroom.
We handle class action disputes for the benefit of clients representing a variety of economic sectors, including industries that are most sensitive to this kind of disputes (banks, marketplaces, digital businesses, transport companies, retail businesses, service providers etc.). Our extensive class action experience involving major companies in a variety of sectors helps us develop customised solutions on a case-by-case basis using our well-calibrated strategies.
On the other hand, a class action lawsuit that can be joined by thousands of plaintiffs is effective in protecting rights of a group of persons ranging from employees or clients of a company to service users or investors.
