Group Litigation

Organizing a group action is a complex activity. Every individual or business willing to pursue a group claim is inevitably confronted with numerous difficulties in terms of composition and management of the group, procedural limitations, high technicality of the evidentiary and substantive matters. All these criticalities, make the group action almost impossible to pursue for a business or individual without the appropriate support of an expert and well-equipped professional. All these factors deter potential plaintiffs. They push them to abandon their purpose to seek redress and force them to bear economic burdens that are crucial for their business.

From the outset,  the support of an expert professional who carries out all the organizational activities of the claim is of essence; cutting edge technologies and communicational expertise are key. Our firm stands as a necessary point of reference for completing the gathering and preparatory activities efficiently.

Moreover, group litigation is likely to occur in fields where the high technicality of the evidentiary phases is a strong economic hindrance for the plaintiffs. The expert investigations and reports required to prove the harmful conduct and the damage are long lasting and costly. This is particularly true in anti-trust litigation, where the overall costs are often unbearable for the claimants, especially in cases where the outcome is uncertain and there is a risk of defeat.
