Litigation Practice - Class Actions

Becker Meisel has the unusual distinction of having experience both successfully prosecuting and defending major class actions, multi-jurisdictional litigations and other multi-party proceedings. Our firm draws upon this unique perspective in approaching these complicated cases, which require not only experienced and creative lawyering but also a daunting coordination of logistics. We are proud to be one of the few firms whose attorneys have both successfully certified class actions as lead plaintiff's counsel and successfully obtained dismissal of class action claims prior to certification.
