On the Cutting Edge of Class Action Lawsuit Defense
Oregon wage and hours laws and class action laws are numerous and complex. Knowing how damaging class action lawsuits can be for employers, we believe in taking immediate action. In Oregon, class actions begin with a pre-litigation class action notice. If you have received a pre-litigation notice threatening class action, contact us immediately, you have 30 days to take preventive action to minimize, hopefully eliminate, the class action threat.
We will use that time to do everything we can to prevent the class action lawsuit. If we are unable to do so, then we will strive to minimize pre-class certification discovery and prevent class certification (numerosity, commonality, typicality and adequacy). In other words, we will work hard to keep it as an individual lawsuit, rather than a class action. An individual lawsuit is far less expensive to defend than a class action.
Of course, if we are unable to prevent a class action lawsuit, we have the experience to defend it. We are a law firm that takes pride in taking action. We are not interested in staying behind desks. We are ready to get into the courtroom to pursue positive results for your business.
