“US Class Action and European Representative Actions”

US Class Actions are a feature of US litigation, which is well-known and sometime misconceived far beyond the United States.

Join us on 9 December 2021 for a discussion on the principles of class actions and whether or not they could serve as a model for representative actions in the EU with class action focused attorney Mike Lowenberg and our Vienna partner Alfred Siwy moderated by our New York/Houston of counsel Nicholas Paine.
