OBA Class Actions Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

In this second installment of the “Fundamentals of Class Actions Law” series, hear from both sides of the table about the logistical and practical considerations that go into a class action before a claim is commenced.  If you are a senior class action practitioner wishing to compare best practices, a new lawyer starting out who is keen to practice in this active area, or in-house or government counsel seeking tips for mitigating the worst-case scenario on a day-to-day basis, you will benefit significantly from this comprehensive overview of the pre-litigation stage of a class action.

Join our highly experienced faculty as they tackle issues such as:

• Investigation - how do you identify a claim and shape the facts as they develop?
• Mitigation of risk and damages
• Balancing regulatory and litigation risk
• Communication with putative class members
• Co-counsel arrangements
• Identifying a potential Representative Plaintiff
• Funding

Don’t miss out on this insightful and valuable program!
