Build a stronger strategy and prevent uncertainty in large-scale litigation.
Class action and mass tort claims multiply litigation risks. One damaging document, an unprepared witness, or an expert excluded under Daubert reverberates across thousands of claims. Bellwether results become the market price for the entire docket. Class certification is a critical juncture that determines whether a case is worth billions or nothing at all.
Venue and audience add further complexity. Juror attitudes toward corporations, product safety, and fairness can vary widely from one jurisdiction to the next. In coordinated and multi-district litigation, themes and evidence may be presented across many cases and venues at once. Plaintiff and defense teams both benefit from a consistent strategy that holds up in each courtroom and at every stage of review.
