Over the years, Bruce and Chris have represented some of the world's largest and most successful corporations in high stakes litigation.
Often their cases have involved cutting edge legal issues requiring the highest levels of critical thinking and strategic analysis.

First and foremost, we are litigators, called upon to represent our clients before the state and federal courts.
However, we also have extensive experience conducting investigations and counseling clients in the pre-litigation context.
In some cases, litigation can be avoided.
In other cases, it is inevitable.
In both situations, superior knowledge and strategic planning are essential to a successful outcome.
Over the years, we have litigated literally hundreds of cases, ranging from smaller commercial disputes to enormous class actions.

Applying this "ascertainability" requirement in consumer protection cases, the court has rejected class treatment where class membership is predicated solely upon potentially self-serving affidavits from putative class members attesting that they purchased the defendant's products.
First, ascertainability does not mean that a plaintiff must be able to identify each and every class member when they move for certification.
The recent decision in City-Select Auto Sales Inc. v. BMW Bank of N. Am. Inc. provides further guidance on what evidence will and will not be considered sufficient to meet the ascertainability requirement.
