  3. Class and Collective Action Litigation

Overview

Class and collective action lawsuits have the power to inflict severe damage not just to a company or organization's bottom line, but its public image, public trust, brand reputation and internal morale—intangibles that indirectly correlate with overall entity health. 

Guiding Clients Through a Complicated Process

Bond has defended clients in class action litigation in a wide range of industries and with respect to a variety of legal claims. 

With Chambers-ranked litigation and employment law practices and extensive litigation experience, we possess the wealth of experience, deep core of knowledge and bench strength necessary to meet the unique and complex challenges these types of claims present. Our class and collective action experience includes Title VII, Title IX, the ADEA, the FLSA, the ADA, ERISA, the FMLA, Section 1981, GINA, FCRA, RESPA, antitrust law, the New York General Business Law and common law claims such as breach of contract and various torts. 

We have experienced litigators across the firm who have jury trial experience and have represented clients in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitration. 

Our clients include companies and entities in a variety of sectors, including:

  • Aerospace
  • Insurance
  • Security
  • Biomedical
  • Manufacturing
  • Technology
  • Financial
  • Municipalities
  • Utilities
  • Health Care
  • Restaurants
  • Wagering
  • Hospitality
  • Retail
  • Higher Education

Dependable Counsel and Attention to Cost at all Stages

Because we understand that specifically these types of cases can morph into an unwieldy specter haunting a company or organization for years, our consistent priority is risk assessment: working with your in-house team in identifying and evaluating your legal and business interests and translating them into intentional litigation strategy that will keep the case moving efficiently, cost-effectively and wisely. 

Should review and assessment of a client’s case lead to the prospect of settlement as one of the better options, we have been successful in crafting settlements of complex class and collective claims—settlements that were fair and received the required court approval while also minimizing costs. 

In 2018, we represented six Chicago-based McDonald’s USA franchisees in a highly publicized joint employer litigation before the NLRB, which resulted in a favorable negotiated settlement. This nationwide litigation was consolidated as part of an aggressive strategy to broaden the joint employer doctrine, and it included over 30 franchisees and McDonald’s USA.
