Increase in class actions in Europe

Our team has ample experience in defining comprehensive class action strategies. By closely monitoring all relevant media, we anticipate any potential class actions. In the event of an actual class action, we will deep dive into the claims and facts, and guide you through a number of possible scenarios. From settlement in an early stage to pursuing litigation, you can count on our experts to take your business interests to heart.

In absence of an overall EU regulation on general collective redress, you may have to deal with several jurisdictions in Europe. As an independent firm based in our four home markets (the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland) we are firmly anchored in continental Europe. Our offices in the main financial centres around the world allow us to stay in close contact with other globally operating law firms.

With over twenty experts focussing on class actions, we have got all areas covered, from securities litigation, and data and privacy law, to antitrust infringements. We are currently representing Facebook and Ryanair in Belgian class actions, and a defendant in the Dutch class action related to the LIBOR case, and a group of investors in the Dutch Steinhoff class action.
