2022 Carlton Fields Class Action Survey Review - Class Action Trends and Best Practices
The 2022 Carlton Fields Class Action Survey results were compiled from 411 interviews with general counsel, chief legal officers, and direct reports to general counsel. Consistent with the approach used in past years, to control for bias and assure objectivity, Carlton Fields retained an independent consulting firm to select the companies and conduct the interviews. The consulting firm provides only aggregate data to Carlton Fields. Individual responses and company names are kept confidential and excluded from the survey results.
Surveyed companies had an average annual revenue of $23.7 billion and a median annual revenue of $14.1 billion. They operate in more than 25 industries, including banking and financial services, consumer goods, energy, high tech, insurance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, professional services, and retail trade.
