Class Certification
How We Help
Clients who need assistance with the intense demands of U.S. and non-U.S. civil proceedings rely on our senior experts’ class action litigation experience and antitrust expertise. For decades, we’ve aided clients around the globe in responding to financial accounting and economic data discovery requests and interrogatories. Also, we prepare analyses that evaluate claims and our client’s positions and appropriately limit the scope of these requests and interrogatories, minimizing the impact of potential exposure.
Our senior practitioners provide class certification analyses and testimony in matters, including securities, antitrust and ERISA cases. We are well versed with both direct and indirect purchaser antitrust class certification matters and involved at the class certification, merits/liability and damages phases. Our experts have the technical expertise and capabilities to analyze complex datasets built from transaction-level company records to examine whether common evidence can be used to establish class-wide impact. We regularly work with some of the largest datasets in the world and on multimillion-dollar cases, and handle work for very large classes of plaintiffs or large joint defense groups, including individual defendants.
Clients rely on our rigorous empirical analyses relating to the theory of harm and market realities that affect the business or competitive interactions between and among plaintiffs and defendants. We provide detailed econometric modeling to inform whether a class should or should not be certified, including implications of common impact and evaluation of predominance of common factors. Our expertise and work extend to cover the merits and damages phases as necessary.
