Amanda Groves Co-Chairs Bridgeport’s 2015 Consumer Class Action Conference

Amanda Groves, chair of the Charlotte litigation practice, co-chaired Bridgeport’s 2015 Class Action Litigation & Management Conference held in Miami on February 6. 

The class action landscape continued to evolve dramatically in 2013 and 2014, and 2015 promises more of the same. Arbitration, rigorous inquiry, nationwide class certification, marketing reliance, actual injury and market remedial actions are all issues that dominated class action orders and opinions. Developments in economic product defect, market misrepresentation, privacy and pure omissions class actions impact most class action practitioners currently prosecuting or defending these cases. This program, which was geared for the advanced practitioner, covered the latest developments in the law of federal class actions as well as procedural advice from leaders in the field. This timely conference included a discussion of the development of recent major class actions cases and decisions as well as a look at upcoming cases and current practice.
