Mass Litigation
Mass litigation is accelerating across sectors, driven by third-party funding and procedural reforms such as the Dutch WAMCA, which enables opt-out claims for damages but meanwhile imposes stricter admissibility criteria.
We have played a pivotal role in some of the largest mass claims and class actions in the Benelux, leveraging our firm’s extensive expertise to achieve optimal outcomes for our clients. We provide legal assistance in both national and international contexts, combining expertise in procedural law with areas such as antitrust and cartel damages, consumer protection, data privacy, ESG issues, and financial law.
Services
Our team specialises in handling complex mass claims and procedural challenges across multiple jurisdictions. With deep expertise and hands-on experience, we handle high-profile mass claims, both commercially driven claims for damages and ideologically driven cases, for example related to ESG. We have a vast experience in handling class actions (including those under the Dutch opt-out regime for collective damages (WAMCA)) and alternative procedural mechanisms used for collective redress.
Our Litigation team’s expertise spans multi-party and cross-border litigation before civil, administrative, and criminal courts, including corporate litigation and private enforcement of competition law infringements.
We collaborate closely with our EU competition law, employment law and financial law teams, enabling an integrated approach to complex, multidisciplinary disputes. Our lawyers remain at the forefront of mass litigation developments by sharing knowledge through teaching and publications.
To streamline large-scale proceedings, we deploy tailored legal tech tools that enhance case management efficiency and support data-driven decision-making. Our approach ensures agility, precision and strategic focus in even the most complex disputes.
