Consumer & Class Action Defense
Protecting Businesses in a New Era of Consumer Class Actions
The stakes in consumer and class action litigation are high, with cases frequently spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving complex statutes such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state privacy laws, and other expansive regulations. Companies must navigate a legal landscape where aggressive plaintiff strategies, reputational harm, and significant damages can disrupt business and erode stakeholder trust.
