The Ogletree Deakins Workshop Series: Class and Collective Actions

Wage and hour class and collective actions continue to be filed at a tremendous pace by plaintiffs, exposing employers to expensive litigation. In this interactive workshop, we will explain in plain English the complexities of class and collective action litigation, discussing the interplay between Rule 23 class actions in employment cases and other collective action procedures under the Fair Labor Standards Act, how to avoid the pitfalls that lead to potentially monstrous cases, and strategies to minimize exposure and manage vexing litigation.
