Hogan Lovells launches Global Class Actions Interactive Hub, a premier digital tool for information and insights on emerging trends

Class and collective actions are on the rise across sectors and markets globally. What has long been a threat in the U.S. is now a significant business risk worldwide, with claims cutting across sectors and borders. In the UK, EU, and beyond, claimant firms and funders are aggressively looking to expand their reach.

Hogan Lovells' market-leading Global Class and Collective Actions practice is renowned for defending the world’s leading companies in their most high-stakes disputes. With the Global Class Actions Hub, the practice has combined its unmatched experience and deep knowledge with cutting-edge technology to create a comprehensive resource for clients.

"Our team has a proven track record of securing favorable outcomes—from achieving early dismissals to defeating class certification to winning at trial. We have developed a new interactive Hub so our clients can stay informed about important class and collective action developments and stay ahead of emerging litigation risks, no matter where they operate," said Craig A. Hoover, Head of the Global Class Actions group.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Centralized Source: The Hub provides clients access to the latest information about class and collective actions across the world, all in one place.

• Country-Specific Overviews: By selecting a country on the Hub's interactive map, clients can explore summaries of local class action frameworks, legal developments, and Hogan Lovells’ experience in each region.

• Interactive Comparison Tools: Quickly contrast class action regimes across jurisdictions– useful for strategic planning and risk mitigation. Clients can also easily generate reports of the materials most relevant to their needs.

• Sector-Focused Insights: Dive into trends and legal risks specific to sectors such as Financial Institutions, Technology, Automotive, Life Sciences, and Consumer Goods, in three critical areas: Antitrust and Competition, Data Privacy and Security, and Employment.

Currently, the Hub covers the U.S., the UK, and certain countries in the EU, including Germany and France. We will be expanding the tool to cover all jurisdictions where Hogan Lovells operates. Explore the Hub and its features here.
