Class action litigation continues to expand in both number of filings and monetary exposure, with settlement numbers breaking the $40 billion mark for the fourth year in a row in 2025. Courts are granting motions for class certification at a high rate – approximately 68% – across substantive areas of class action litigation. Corporate defendants continue to litigate in high-volume areas including wage & hour, antitrust, data breach, consumer fraud, products liability, as well as face complex claims in evolving areas, such as artificial intelligence, digital assets and blockchain, and emerging privacy theories. This program explores the significant developments across the class action landscape over the past 12 months and best practices for risk mitigation.
Join experienced class action defense lawyer Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. in this presentation for a detailed walkthrough of the current class action outlook, including the key rulings, trends, and strategies that corporate counsel should have in their toolkit.
