Fox Rothschild tackles class action claims involving privacy and data security with an aggressive approach intended to block class certification and secure dismissals as quickly as possible.

Our experience extends to the defense of major insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, electronics and technology manufacturers, and financial service providers, as well as apparel, retail, furniture, hospitality and transportation companies. Customizing our strategy for each case, we find the flaws in a claim and respond accordingly.

We also counsel clients on emerging threats and help them put preventive measures in place.
