Baker Donelson's trial lawyers have an enviable record of success in defending class action suits affecting a wide variety of industries. We know the defensive strategies for dealing with initial class certification and discovery related to class issues. And if class certification is granted, we have the experience and the resources for effective class action management. We serve as primary class counsel in national, regional and statewide class action suits and work effectively with out-of-state coordinating counsel in class action litigation.
There is no substitute for organization and client communication in class action litigation. We leverage industry-leading technology to give clients instant, secure access to discovery documents and litigation work product, so that they can track progress and ask questions. We deliver such information through customized, secure extranets built to specification. We also deploy this technology to local and regional counsel to efficiently assist with multi-jurisdictional litigation management. We team up with our professional litigation support staff for trial preparation and discovery management.
We are proud to have among our ranks some of the most notable and outstanding trial lawyers in the south central United States – seasoned attorneys with substantial experience in complex class action cases. They include attorneys listed in Best Lawyers in America® and Chambers USA. Many are licensed to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and before multiple state and federal courts of appeals, and several have served as judicial clerks with state or federal trial courts or courts of appeal. We are members of organizations dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of litigation practice, such as the American College of Trial Lawyers, DRI, the American Board of Trial Advocates and the International Association of Defense Counsel.
