class action lawyer
Group lawsuit representative
A class action lawyer represents groups of people with similar claims against a defendant, rather than individual clients.
These attorneys handle cases where many plaintiffs suffered the same harm—defective products, corporate fraud, environmental disasters—and pooling claims makes litigation practical: The class action lawyer took on the pharmaceutical company after thousands reported side effects.
The lawyer typically works on contingency, taking a percentage of any settlement.
