Hughes Hubbard has a successful track record of litigating class action claims across a variety of areas, including consumer fraud, securities, wage and employment, false advertising and antitrust. Some of these cases involved “bet-the-company” risks due to the size and scope of putative classes. Relying on our experience, we work with clients to develop winning strategies that protect their interests.
