Carlton Fields has defended class actions for more than 30 years and understands the unique challenges they present due to their different rules, enhanced scope, and higher stakes. We defend every facet of class action proceedings, including class certification, motions to dismiss, summary judgment, standing issues, unfair trade practice act issues, trials, opt-out and objector issues, jurisdiction, settlement administration, and all facets of parallel administrative proceedings, related criminal proceedings, and derivative actions.
Our experience defending complex litigation in state and federal courts, and matters consolidated by the judicial panel on multidistrict litigation, covers substantive areas including antitrust, construction, consumer fraud, employment, insurance, products liability, real estate, securities, tax, telecommunications, and toxic tort actions.
