CLASS ACTIONS
When the same corporate conduct harms many people or businesses, the cost of bringing separate lawsuits can leave meaningful claims unpursued. Lindenfeld Law evaluates potential class actions involving antitrust violations and other widespread economic harm. We begin with the conduct, the people affected, and the evidence that could establish their claims together.
A shared grievance is a starting point. Building a viable class action also requires careful attention to differences among potential class members, the losses they sustained, and the legal requirements for proceeding as a group. We investigate those questions early, with a practical focus on common proof and the path to recovery.
The work
We evaluate alleged anticompetitive conduct and its economic consequences. The investigation considers how the challenged conduct affected the market, who bore the loss, and what records and expert analysis would be needed to establish injury.
We examine claims in which a common business practice may have caused losses across a group. The central questions include how consistently the practice operated and whether the available evidence can connect that practice to the harm alleged.
Company records, transaction data, communications, and testimony can reveal a shared course of conduct. We assess what those materials could prove across the proposed class, where individual questions remain, and how the defense is likely to challenge the case.
A theory of wrongdoing needs a workable account of its consequences. We consider the evidence needed to measure losses, the role of economic experts, and whether the relief sought addresses the harm experienced by the proposed class.
Our approach
Eric Lindenfeld has litigated national public-health cases and complex commercial disputes at prior firms, developing case strategy from sprawling corporate records and expert evidence. That experience guides how we investigate class claims, identify common proof, and prepare for contested proceedings.
Eric personally directs the work. We use advanced litigation technology to organize dense records and test factual connections, with experienced judgment guiding each decision. Before committing to a case, we discuss its strengths, obstacles, resource demands, and proposed fee arrangement. Clients should understand both the opportunity and the work required to pursue it.
Our approach to advocacy and feesQuestions
No. A court must determine whether the applicable requirements for class treatment are satisfied. The similarities among claims, the proposed representatives, and the way the case can be proved all require careful analysis.
No. A class action involves representatives seeking relief on behalf of a class. Federal multidistrict litigation coordinates related cases for pretrial proceedings. An MDL can include individual cases and class actions; centralization does not itself certify a class.
A short account of what happened, the companies involved, relevant agreements or communications, and records of your loss are useful starting points. Explain why you believe others were affected by the same conduct. We can then identify what further investigation may be needed.
