Class Actions Unpacked: Risks, Trends and What’s Coming Next

As class actions continue to accelerate across key sectors and jurisdictions across the world, understanding the anatomy of a class actions claim has never been more critical. Drawing on real world insights and recent cases, our speakers will explore the shifting strategies of both claimants and defendants, and outline practical steps to help you in dealing with the growing appetite for collective actions. This session will provide perspectives from across the globe, unpacking the latest trends driving class actions, highlighting emerging areas of risk, and examining the procedural developments that are reshaping the litigation landscape.
