Surveys of corporate counsel confirm that complex workplace litigation – and especially class actions and multi-plaintiff lawsuits – are one of the chief exposures driving corporate legal budgetary expenditures, as well as the type of legal dispute that causes the most concern for their companies.
As profiled in our Workplace Class Action Report for 2017, federal and state courts issued more favorable class certification rulings for the plaintiffs' bar in 2016 than in past years. The prime concern in that array of risks is now indisputably wage & hour class action and collective action litigation.
In this video, the third in our continuing series outlining the key findings of the Workplace Class Action Report, we examine the story behind the class certification statistics and what that means for employers.
