CLASS ACTION PRACTICE AREAS
Deep Expertise. Broad Experience.
01 Product Liability
Product liability class actions require administrators to manage large claimant populations and review supporting documentation such as proof of purchase, repair records, or warranty information. We coordinate multi-channel notice campaigns, establish settlement websites and call centers, process and validate claims, and distribute benefits that may include reimbursements, repairs, replacements, or cash payments. These matters also involve ongoing reporting to counsel and the Court regarding claims activity, exclusions, objections, and distribution status.
Years of work on hundreds of cases means Xpand’s methods and industry knowledge create infrastructure that grows your firm’s Class Action capabilities.
02 Labor & Employment
Labor and employment cases involve detailed payroll and employee data analysis to identify class members and calculate individual settlement payments. We coordinate notice distribution to current and former employees, manage opt-out and objection procedures, calculate tax allocations and withholdings, issue tax forms, and distribute settlement payments. These matters require extensive address updating, skip tracing, and employee support services due to the mobility of the workforce and the complexity of individualized payment calculations.
03 Data Breach
Data breach settlements require us to implement secure data management protocols while handling sensitive personal and financial information. We oversee email and digital notice campaigns, maintain secure settlement websites, process claims for documented losses or reimbursement, coordinate identity verification procedures, and administer benefits such as credit monitoring services or cash payments. Given the cybersecurity concerns involved, these matters require heightened confidentiality, fraud prevention, and data security measures throughout the administration process.
04 Anti-trust & Competition
Antitrust and competition class actions require complex claims administration supported by transactional, sales, or purchasing data. We manage large-scale domestic and international notice programs, establish claims review protocols, validate supporting documentation, and apply allocation methodologies developed by economic experts and counsel. These matters require sophisticated data analysis, substantial claimant communications, and detailed reporting to ensure accurate and efficient distribution of settlement funds.
05 ERISA & Employee Benefits
ERISA and employee benefits settlements require us to work with complex retirement or benefit plan data to calculate participant allocations accurately. We coordinate notice programs, maintain participant communication channels, process claims where applicable, and work closely with plan administrators, custodians, and financial institutions to facilitate distributions. These cases require sophisticated allocation methodologies, detailed auditing procedures, and heightened confidentiality requirements given the financial and personal information involved.
