Morgan Lewis has been extensively involved in class-action litigation in state and federal courts for many years. Over the last three decades, we have defended some of the nation’s largest and best-known companies in consumer, antitrust, securities, mass tort/toxic tort, product liability, healthcare, discrimination, ERISA, data privacy, and other types of class actions in federal and state courts all over the country. In 2009, Law360 Litigation Almanac ranked Morgan Lewis as the "busiest" class action practice in the United States, based on the number of cases the firm was retained to defend.
Our lawyers are leaders in this practice area and were among the original participants in the asbestos property-damage litigation that helped develop current class-action law. While most of our experience is in defending class-action litigation, our expertise in all relevant issues enables us to advise and represent clients effectively from any standpoint.
