Class Actions for Selected Practice Areas

Holland & Knight attorneys Cory Eichhorn and Sydney Alexander authored a chapter in "Class Actions in Selected Practice Areas," a LexisNexis publication examining complex class action litigation involving antitrust and competition, consumer protection, privacy, and environmental and energy law.

Written for attorneys representing plaintiffs and defendants, the book addresses the substantive claims, procedural requirements, evidentiary issues and strategic considerations involved in class action litigation, including whether an action proceeds, is certified, settles or is dismissed.

"Class Actions in Selected Practice Areas" places particular emphasis on the analysis required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. Topics include standing, ascertainability, numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, superiority, manageability, class definitions and damages methodologies, as well as the treatment of uninjured class members. The book also addresses expert testimony, economic analysis, scientific evidence, statistical models and Daubert challenges at the class certification stage.

Cory and Sydney wrote the second chapter, which focuses on consumer protection class actions and addresses areas including claims and class certification, defense strategies, and pleading and procedural requirements.
