Class Action Roundtable: Communications with Absent Class Members

Absent class members can be a source of valuable information in fighting a putative class action, but defendants must be cognizant of legal and ethical concerns before initiating contact. 

Join us for a discussion of the pros and cons of different discovery approaches and best practices for managing communications with absent class members.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

• Methods of communication before and after class certification 
• Legal and ethical considerations for defendants     
• Best practices for declaration gathering and depositions
