CLASS ACTIONS

Schroeter Goldmark & Bender represents employees and consumers in complex and class action litigation against companies that engage in unfair, deceptive or harmful conduct in the workplace, marketplace, or environment. While the disparity in resources between an individual and a corporation may seem great, we use our experience with class action lawsuits and knowledge of employment laws, consumer protection, and environmental issues to level the playing field. This has allowed us to successfully pursue class action suits against some of the largest corporations in the country. 

 

At SGB, we never put our own interests ahead of those of our clients, and we never enter into settlements that benefit the lawyers rather than the class. Our passion for justice and our refusal to settle "easy" has led to precedent-settling cases in areas such as equal pay for state employees, pay for employee drive time and donning and doffing time, and government liability for wrongful seizure of motor vehicles. We know how to secure court approval for cases to move forward as class actions, how to structure settlements to obtain them maximum benefits for employees or consumers who have been harmed and how to try these cases, when necessary, to obtain the best result for our clients.
