Class Action Defense

GRSM has a national reputation for its ability to efficiently and effectively defeat class actions at the class certification stage and at trial. Unlike most defense firms, we have actually taken class actions through trial and won them. We also have an excellent track record of defeating class certification, in types of cases that many defense firms recommend rolling over and settling rather than beating.

While we understand that some cases should be aggressively litigated through trial, we also have the ability to successfully resolve complex group litigation and class actions. We defend class actions in federal and state courts nationwide in a wide range of industries, including automotive, education, employment, environmental, financial services, health care, insurance, manufacturing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, product liability, real estate, restaurants, retail, and transportation. We also work with our clients to manage the public relations and regulatory crises that sometimes accompany class actions.

What sets GRSM apart is our team of trial lawyers have an extensive track record of actual and frequent jury trial experience, a distinction that few class action defense firms can claim. While less than 2% of all class actions go to trial, our class action group has successfully tried several cases in the past five years. Unlike many firms where only a few litigators possess periodic trial experience, GRSM boasts a deep bench of trial lawyers with substantial first-chair trial experience, delivering excellent results at both the trial and appellate levels.
