Complex Litigation
At the Block Firm, we know how to navigate big and complex cases. We seek out consumer class actions through which we can make large-scale impacts for real people and hold companies accountable. In those matters, we bring years of prior experience defending class actions to bear to craft and litigate our clients’ claims. At that same time, for our business clients, we have extensive experience with multi-party and multi-jurisdictional matters, including deep experience with antitrust matters. We excel at identifying and explaining options that will best position our clients to assert their rights or limit their liabilities when they find themselves swept up in big disputes with many moving pieces.
