Demandas Colectivas

La representación de demandados en una demanda colectiva exige un nivel de habilidad estratégica y visión jurídica que es el sello de nuestra firma. Nuestros abogados son conocidos por su capacidad de desarrollar formas innovadoras para prevalecer en demandas colectivas y alejar a los clientes de foros inadecuados y desfavorables. Hemos derrotado intentos de justificar demandas colectivas basadas en reclamos de daños económicos formulados por compradores de productos nocivos, prevalecido en casos de fraude en las cuales había fiabilidad implícita, e impedido el intento de empleo de disturbios de orden público en demandas complejas sin la protección de las reglas que rigen las demandas colectivas.

Solo en estos últimos 5 años, Arnold & Porter ha defendido a más de 120 demandas colectivas y otros casos de reclamaciones. Hemos prevalecido en peticiones dispositivas, peticiones de certificación de demanda, y en apelaciones  para clientes tales como Atlantic Richfield, Bank of America, BP Products North America, Charles Schwab, GE, Honeywell, Philip Morris EE.UU., y Visa USA. También hemos desarrollado e implementado arreglos en los que la solución negociada fue el resultado preferido por nuestro cliente.

Nuestros abogados han manejado demandas colectivas y otros litigios complejos iniciados por partes públicas y privadas representadas por escritorios jurídicos importantes ante tribunales federales y estatales en todo el país. Hemos servido como asesores coordinadores a nivel nacional y como abogados principales en litigios multidistritales.  Representamos a clientes en una amplia gama de industrias, entre las cuales:  contabilidad, automotriz, banca, productos químicos, productos de consumo y minoristas, energía, alimentos y bebidas, productos industriales, productos farmacéuticos, comercio minorista y tecnología. Hemos defendido casos en diversas áreas jurídicas, por ejemplo, protección al consumidor, violaciones de datos, medioambiente, servicios financieros, responsabilidad por productos y títulos y valores.
