Class Actions & Complex Litigation
Class actions and complex litigation require precision, foresight, and the ability to manage high-stakes legal strategy across multiple jurisdictions. Fields Howell is frequently retained to handle the most sophisticated and high-value disputes, delivering results through smart coordination and decisive advocacy. Our firm is trusted by global insurers and domestic clients alike to resolve these cases with speed and integrity.
Managing Massive Risk with Focused Strategy
Fields Howell has built a reputation for successfully navigating some of the most demanding litigation challenges in the insurance industry. Our attorneys are experienced in defending class actions, RICO claims, antitrust allegations, and other high-exposure cases. We frequently serve as lead counsel in disputes requiring coordination across multiple parties, jurisdictions, and regulators, ensuring a unified and strategic response.
We’ve defended insurers in billion-dollar federal claims and secured favorable outcomes in class actions where liability appeared certain, reducing exposure significantly. Our team won summary judgment in a $350 million Arkansas state court case and achieved the dismissal of a $1 billion federal court claim in Florida. In another matter, we resolved a class action with liability exposure well into the millions, settling for under fifteen cents on the dollar.
These results stem not only from our legal capabilities but also from the trusted relationships we’ve developed with Lloyd’s syndicates, corporate leadership, and U.S. regulators. Our ability to unite stakeholders across the London Market and maintain regulatory confidence allows us to manage complexity without compromising defense strategy.
