Class actions and major group litigation can be seismic events, not only for the parties, but also whole industries and parts of society. In-Depth: Class Actions (formerly The Class Actions Law Review) - 8th edition explains the relevant procedures, developments and factors in play in some of the leading jurisdictions for class actions and group litigation.
The potential impact means class actions are one of the few types of claim that have become truly global in both importance and scope. The eighth edition of In-Depth: Class Actions provides practitioners and clients with a concise overview of the relevant procedures, developments and factors in play in some of the world’s leading jurisdictions for class actions and group litigation.
Camilla Sanger and Peter Wickham, Disputes and Investigations partners in London, edited the eighth edition of In-Depth: Class Actions and alongside James Lawrence co-authored the England and Wales chapter. Our team acts on many significant class action proceedings, including some of the highest profile competition litigation claims before the English courts.
