Class Actions

Ellis & Winters attorneys have direct experience in the litigation and defense of significant class actions, in North Carolina and beyond. Our attorneys have been directly responsible for the successful development and execution of proactive strategies designed to attack and defeat class certification. In some cases, when certification has occurred, we have obtained decertification on the eve of trial or on appeal. Class actions defended by members of our firm have involved antitrust, product liability, pharmaceutical, medical device, mass tort, and construction product claims.
