PLG's class action defense practice draws on the talent of its highly experienced team of litigators to represent clients facing class claims across industries and a broad range of statutory and common law theories of liability. Our capabilities include wage and hour claims, deceptive business practices and consumer protection statute claims, product liability, alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Americans with Disabilities Act, and exposure stemming from privacy and data breach incidents.
Our team knows the importance of minimizing potential class exposure and aims aggressively to get matters dismissed at the pleading stage or otherwise defeat class certification. We understand that class action litigation presents unique risks that extend well beyond the merits of individual claims. The potential for substantial aggregate liability, reputational harm, and operational disruption demands a strategic approach from the earliest stages of a dispute. We work closely with our clients to assess exposure, develop litigation strategy, and position matters for the most favorable outcomes.
Absent early resolution, we seek to leverage our extensive litigation experience to manage the case efficiently according to the scope and complexity of each matter. We also recognize that not every case should be litigated to conclusion. When appropriate, we may pursue early mediation or negotiated resolution to limit risk and uncertainty. Throughout every engagement, we maintain open communication with our clients and view ourselves as strategic partners committed to achieving results that align with our clients’ broader business objectives.
