The firm provides representation and comprehensive legal support in class actions, focusing on the representation of commercial companies, retail chains and businesses. We handle complex proceedings from the motion for class certification, through the conduct of the case on its merits, to settlement or judgment.
Our work in this area is based on a thorough analysis of the causes of action, an examination of whether the preliminary conditions set by the Class Actions Law are met, and a combination of litigation experience with a broad understanding of the regulatory environment.
The firm’s class action practice includes, among other things:
Defence
Strategic defence for companies and business owners facing claims in consumer protection, retail, communications, banking and insurance, with an evidence-based line of defence aimed at having the certification motion dismissed at an early stage.
Retail class actions
Support for retail and food chains facing claims concerning product labelling, consumer deception, the Deposit Law, and pricing and promotions.
Privacy and spam
Representation in class actions concerning breaches of the Communications Law (the “Spam Law”), user privacy, data security and database management in the digital environment.
Employment class actions
Representation of employers in class actions filed in the Labor Courts concerning extension orders, pension contributions and company-wide social benefits.
Risk management, settlements and withdrawals
Early identification of legal exposure to class actions, and negotiation of complex settlements or agreed withdrawals, with the aim of ending the proceedings with minimum legal, financial and reputational exposure.
The firm combines litigation experience with close attention to the technical and accounting details that class actions require, with the personal involvement of Adv. Gilad Boidek and an understanding of the business and public implications of the proceedings.
