Class and mass actions concentrate enormous exposure — and enormous complexity — into a single proceeding. Lawson Huck Gonzalez handles class action and mass tort litigation in Florida’s state and federal courts, from certification fights and dispositive motions through trial, settlement architecture, and appeal, including matters coordinated in multidistrict litigation.
Few firms of our size bring this much senior judgment to aggregated litigation: our bench includes the firm’s three founders — among them a retired Florida Supreme Court Justice and two former General Counsel to the Governor of Florida — and a former judge of Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal. Michael Kelley currently helps lead a major product liability class action, and our attorneys’ class action experience spans consumer, shareholder, tort, and commercial theories on both sides of the “v.”
How we handle aggregated litigation
- Certification as the battleground. Early, rigorous class-certification strategy — often the case-dispositive fight.
- Exposure management. Structuring defense and resolution to contain aggregate risk without inviting follow-on claims.
- Appellate integration. Interlocutory and final appellate strategy built in from the first responsive pleading.
