On the Lighter
Side

Class Actions Require Persistence
Class actions continue to be a useful tool for
plaintiffs’ attorneys, but counsel and their clients must be persistent.
Restaurant plaintiffs are seeking class action status against Google for the alleged
diversion of online orders. Air Pod owners are trying
again to certify a class action against Apple based on allegations involving
the production of ear moisture. New plaintiffs are seeking
class action status against Peloton again. Even when a case nears resolution,
there can be hurdles. A Zoom customer has objected
to legal fees in a proposed class action settlement.
Whether you are in the certification process, or past
that point in class action litigation, Asterion’s professionals can assist you
in analyzing the financial implications of your matter.

1950.
