The California Litigation Team is recognized for experience defending consumer class actions, trying over 100 consumer class actions worth over $3 billion in damages with jury and bench trials. Our experience includes class-action lawsuit trials, eliminating proposed class actions on the merits prior to the certification, opposing class-certification motions, decertifying previously certified classes, negotiating and obtaining approval of class settlements.
Our business litigators represent businesses in nearly every industry, including escrow, title insurance, real estate, oil and gas, healthcare, food and beverage, entertainment, finance, manufacturing, distributing, retail, and insurance. These representations include issues related to defense of class actions, mass actions, product liability, business tort, unfair competition and consumer protection statutes, regulatory issues, trade secret and unlawful recruiting, real estate, and probate.
We handle cases from beginning to end, including bench and jury trial success throughout California as well as appellate experience in the Ninth Circuit, California Appellate District Courts, and the California Supreme Court.
We pair our extensive litigation experience with our knowledge of an individual client’s operations and goals. We believe this approach not only allows us to achieve successful results in a particular case, but also has established many long-standing client relationships.
