Description

The past year has brought significant developments in the antitrust class action context, leaving questions and issues over the certification process standards. Aside from the litigation challenges caused by the shifting rules, US courts are also reinforcing their probe of proposed classes making it increasingly difficult to obtain early class decisions.
Judicial decisions in recent years have increased the requirements for antitrust appeals. Thus, litigators must always be in the loop of all emerging trends and considerations to litigate putative class actions efficiently and effectively.
Our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners will offer a discussion of the evolving standards in antitrust class certification as well as the significant issues surrounding this area of law. This program aims to help you navigate the challenges in litigating antitrust class certification issues.
