Class Actions

The use of class actions, or representative actions as remedies in litigation is becoming more common in jurisdictions outside of North America. All indications are that class actions will continue to find their way into litigation regimes around the world. The volume of data, the complexity of financial models, and the increased expectation of precision make it imperative to have forensic accounting experts on-hand to help during the various phases of a class action, from the certification stage, to the determination of damages and administration of awards.
