Class Actions

Class actions can be complicated to understand – even for attorneys. These cases are different from individual cases in that a small group of people called class representatives sue on behalf of a much larger group rather than just themselves. Class actions are unique in their ability to bind non-participating members of the affected group. The attorneys at Keegan & Baker, LLP have successfully represented plaintiffs in class actions, group and individual cases, in a wide variety of consumer cases. We thoroughly research all cases before they are filed and work closely with our class representatives.

Despite what you may have heard, California has a public policy favoring class actions, especially employment or wage and hour class actions. Courts like class actions because they reduce the overall number of cases filed in the courts – thereby preserving more of the courts' time and resources for other matters.

On the other hand, for an employer or small business, the cost of defending a class action can be ruinous, and may involve a direct attack on the business’ entire way of doing business. Employers faced with class action litigation need to balance the oftentimes competing interests of defending their business model and minimizing the cost of litigation. You absolutely want to avoid retaining a large law firm that will simply treat your case as a blank check for a huge amount of fees.

The following is a list of cases with class action allegations that we are currently litigating:

NATURA PET PRODUCTS, INC. - We represent owners of pets who purchased pet food manufactured by Natura Pet Products, Inc. in reliance on allegedly false and misleading advertisements disseminated by Natura. Plaintiffs are seeking disgorgement of money paid for the pet food and other equitable relief. There has not yet been a determination on the merits of class certification.
