Class action lawsuits help to achieve justice not just for the individuals who bring such claims, but also for those who have suffered similar losses caused by a defendant’s wrongdoing.  As described by the United States Congress, class actions are an important and valuable part of the legal system, providing for the fair and efficient resolution of legitimate claims of numerous parties by allowing the claims to be brought together into a single case against the defendant that allegedly caused the harm.  

Baron & Budd’s class action practice seeks justice for people and entities who have been harmed by the conduct of large corporations.  Some of the class action cases we handle are on behalf of municipalities and other governmental entities seeking redress for damages such as the contamination of their water supplies and the loss of revenue from the underpayment of taxes.  Baron & Budd also represents certain states and other institutional investors seeking to recover  the loss of value to their employees’ pension funds caused by securities fraud. Additionally, the firm represents consumers who have been harmed by unethical and unlawful business practices.
