We have earned a reputation for defending class actions and representative actions by defeating class certifications or obtaining dismissal on the merits. Our attorneys’ experience is illustrated by several representative actions: 

• We obtained pre-certification dismissal of a wage and hour class action filed by a member of our client’s sales staff.  The employer did not make any payment and the action was dismissed by the plaintiff.  

• We obtained summary judgment on a class representative’s claim of excessive interest rates, along with eliminating the threat of future class actions on the same theory.

• We quashed class and representative consumer claims through dispositive pre-trial motions, eliminating all substantial exposure for business clients.

• We defended discrimination class actions brought against one of the largest banks in California.

• We defeated a class certification motion based on administrative impracticality of class administration
