The
last decade has seen a significant rise in the number of class
actions, collective actions and multi-plaintiff actions filed
against employers throughout the United States. Plaintiffs’ attorneys
and government agencies have revived interest in these forms
of action in employment cases and have brought to the process
a renewed vigor and resourcefulness.
Constangy, Brooks & Smith’s Employment Litigation Defense
Team is experienced in all forms of multi-plaintiff employment claims.
We regularly defend collective and class action claims brought by
the government and private litigants throughout the United States
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII); the
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act (ADEA); Employees Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); the
Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA); the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act ("WARN"); and the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") and their
state law counterparts.
Constangy’s Litigation Defense Team brings to the defense of
complex, multi-plaintiff lawsuits an unparalleled depth of experience
and sensitivity to workplace issues gleaned from representing employers
exclusively for over more than 50 years. Our particular strengths
in defending these types of cases include the following:
- Containing
the impact of high-profile, multi-plaintiff litigation;
- Designing
and Implementing creative defense strategies to defeat the
class aspects of the case;
- Incorporating
key defense experts (statisticians, labor market economists,
industrial psychologists, selection tool validation
experts and the like) into the defense plan;
- Exploring
suitable means for resolving complex cases on terms acceptable
to our clients through the use of mediation and
other forms of alternative
dispute resolution; and
- Planning
and operating within a litigation budget.
