Mass litigation in Europe - what the Representative Actions Directive means for your business

By the end of 2022, European member states must transpose into national laws the European Representative Actions Directive. Intended to promote consumer access to justice, the Directive requires procedures for mass or collective litigation to meet minimum standards. This has the potential to increase businesses' exposure to this type of litigation risk, particularly in consumer-facing markets.

In this webinar, mass actions experts from across our European offices will discuss:

• The current state of play in their jurisdictions' transposition of the Directive
• Likely differences in approach between jurisdictions – what this means for the European mass actions landscape and potential forum-shopping
• The impact of the new regimes for businesses' exposure to mass actions risk, and how to mitigate the risks
