Class Action Defense: Strategies and Approaches

This class action program is directed to in-house and company counsel facing putative class counsel, while outside defense counsel and putative class counsel will benefit as well.  It highlights what points of inflection a company might face defending a class action and how these inflection points differ from typical and complex litigation.  The program addresses these inflection points within the context of the elements of pretrial motion practice a class action defendant faces. This program is perfect for attorneys of all experience-levels. 

Learning Objectives: 

1. Evaluate putative class actions’ inflection points.

2. Analyze how a putative class action’s inflection points differ in substance and magnitude from the inflection points found in a typical litigation.  

3. Apply early motion practice to defeat class certification.
