Duane Morris Class Action Review - 2023 - Report - Page 4
NOTE FROM THE EDITORS
The stakes at issue in class action litigation are often significant. A company’s market
share and corporate reputation are typically implicated by a class action, as are the
careers of senior management. For obvious reasons, these exposures and risks put
immense pressure on corporate decision-makers.
The purpose of the Duane Morris Class Action Review is multi-faceted. We hope it will
demystify some of the complexities of class action litigation, and keep corporate counsel
updated on the ever-evolving nuances of Rule 23 issues. In this respect, we hope this
book will provide our clients with an analysis of trends and significant rulings that enable
them to make informed decisions in dealing with complex litigation risks.
The scope and content of the Duane Morris Class Action Review is unique. No other
annual study exists that addresses class action litigation across all substantive areas of
law. In 23 chapters and four appendices, this book analyzes virtually any class action
issue that corporate executives and general counsel are apt to encounter.
Defense of class actions is a hallmark of the litigation practice at Duane Morris. We
hope this book – manifesting the collective experience and expertise of our class action
defense group – will assist our clients by identifying developing trends in the case law
and offering practical approaches in dealing with class action litigation.
Sincerely,
Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. | General Editor
