Class action lawsuits

Class action lawsuits, which can be joined easily with minimum financial and time costs, pose financial and reputation risks for businesses. In this case, a smart strategy is vital, since the outcome of subsequent individual claims on a similar subject of dispute against the company depends on the results of the class action lawsuit.

A class action lawsuit can be a dangerous tool in competition because competitors can take advantage of such a dispute and provide the group with funding, PR and legal support, which will complicate the dispute significantly for the defendant.

The BGP Litigation team is experienced in supporting the most high-profile class action lawsuits on both sides of the docket. We support the customer at the mediation stage, reduce their financial and reputation losses until claims are filed in court, and provide comprehensive support for the customer’s dispute in court, as well.

We represent customers from various industries in group disputes, including the most sensitive industries for this category of dispute (banks, marketplaces, digital businesses, freight companies, retail, service providers, etc.). Our considerable experience in class action lawsuits involving big companies in different sectors and building upon proven strategies help us find individual solutions to each specific case.

On the other hand, class action lawsuits, which can bring together thousands of plaintiffs, reliably protect the rights of a group of people: from a company’s own employees or customers to service consumers or investors. We understand the mechanics of the plaintiff's class action lawsuit process and have proven experience in representing plaintiffs in major class action lawsuits, including against state-owned companies.
