Leffel Discusses 9th Circuit Class Action Decision

Partner Michael Leffel was quoted in a Law360 article, “Full 9^th Circ. Hyundai Reset Gives Clarity On Class Deals,” about an en banc Ninth Circuit decision clarifying the standard for certifying consumer class action settlements.

Assuming that a court can sign off on a nationwide deal that would be in everybody’s interest, Leffel said, the decision “puts us back to where everybody thought we were before. Everybody who wants to see a nationwide class settled is breathing a sigh of relief,” he added.
