Class Actions

BSP has extensive class-action experience in areas including consumer protection, environmental, toxic tort, product liability, and construction defect. Our team provides clients with carefully crafted defense strategies aimed at obtaining early dismissals, denials of class certification, and favorable settlements in lawsuits filed nationwide. Particularly when the stakes and challenges are high, corporations trust BSP to pave the way toward success.
