Expert Insights on Class Action Law

Class Action Law is a set of laws that govern the rights and remedies of a large group of individuals when the group resorts to litigation. Class-action lawsuits aggregate a large number of individualized claims into one representational lawsuit. Class-action lawsuits have been brought against car manufacturers, insurance companies, toy makers, and tobacco companies, among others.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Class Action Law via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
