Businesses are struggling to contain class action defense costs amid a more aggressive litigation environment, an activist workforce and increased creativity among plaintiffs’ attorneys, law firm Carlton Fields said in a recent report. In-house corporate lawyers are being forced to rely more and more on outside counsel as they become overwhelmed with class action matters, Carlton Fields attorney John Clabby said. "“I think for CFOs it would be worth having a conversation with their general counsel about approaches for using outside lawyers to defend cases of this type, and the report gives a fair amount of practical tips that can help guide that conversation,” Clabby, who worked on the research, said. #classactionlawsuits #legalmatters #labormarket https://lnkd.in/e4GGdWyi
