Class Action Defense in California
Employee class actions combine the claims of similarly situated employees into one case, amplifying exposure. Our strategy begins with the goal of dismantling class certification.
Employers often face emotionally charged claims and complex deadlines. The key is to respond strategically, not reactively.

common questions
We’re here to answer your questions.
We just got served with a class action lawsuit. What’s the first thing I should do?
Don’t panic or communicate with employees about it. We’ll review the complaint, verify who’s included, and start challenging class certification.
How can one employee represent everyone else?
They can try, but our goal is to show differences between employees' schedules, duties, or pay methods, in order to try and make the “class” impossible to certify.
Are class actions always public?
Yes. Anything filed with the court is public record. If it is not filed with the court, it is not in the public record.
How long does it take for a class action to resolve?
The timeline can vary based on court schedules and specific case circumstances. However, most class actions resolve between 2-4 years.
Can a class action be dismissed early?
Yes. If we prove employees aren’t similarly situated, we can defeat certification and reduce the case to individual claims.
What’s the difference between this and a PAGA case?
PAGA seeks civil penalties for the state, while class actions seek unpaid wages or damages for employees. Many cases include both.
Should I notify current employees?
Not yet. How you communicate internally can affect the case. We help you handle questions without creating new claims.
