Understand how and why a class action is started and learn how to defend against this type of action.
Few things frighten business leaders more than the words class action. All lawsuits create headaches and are expensive. Class actions, however, truly are in a class by themselves. From exponentially increased expenses, to correspondingly severe penalties, a class action can lay waste to a company's finances and topple its leadership. This topic will explore the mechanics of class actions in the employment context to demonstrate what the target company will face once it reaches the courthouse, and with an eye toward practical solutions that should help steer the target company into the best possible footing to defend against the claim.
