Employment Class Action Defense

We successfully defended a Fortune 500 retail company against a nationwide class action alleging systematic wage and hour violations. The case involved over 10,000 potential class members and sought $500 million in damages.

Challenge

A group of current and former employees filed a class action alleging the company systematically misclassified workers and failed to pay overtime.

Approach

Our employment team conducted an exhaustive analysis of pay records, job descriptions, and company policies, ultimately defeating class certification.
