Class & Representative Actions

We have built an entire practice area on defending against claims brought under California Business & Professions Code section 17200 and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, as well as other multi-party plaintiff litigation. These cases typically involve complex matters of nearly every line of insurance, including commercial, homeowners, automobile, workers’ compensation, life, disability, health and long-term care. They demand the level of skill and experience that Barger & Wolen LLP has to offer.

Our reputation in this area has been built on success. We have defeated numerous putative class and representative actions at the pleading stage. We have also defeated or limited many motions for class certification, and have resolved many more in cost-effective alternative dispute forums. We are often called upon to serve as national coordinating class counsel for multi-district litigation, and have authored numerous treatises and articles on this complex area of law.
