Class Action Defense

Our class action defense practice involves the defense of large corporate clients in a variety of class action lawsuits.  This has been an exciting and growing practice area for our firm since its inception.  

Our class action defense matters have been handled primarily by partner, James T. Moughan.  Mr. Moughan has been defending class actions since approximately 1990, when he was a partner at the firm of Duane, Morris & Heckscher.  Mr. Moughan handles most of the substantive responsibilities in these matters, including all discovery, depositions, hearings, arguments and court appearances.  The firm's class action cases have been litigated at the trial level in both the state and federal courts, and Mr. Moughan has also personally appeared and argued on behalf of class action clients in the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  

In several of these cases the firm has both argued on behalf of its client and acted as lead counsel on behalf of a group of defense lawyers with similar and related cases, sometimes consolidated for trial and appeal purposes.

We have had significant experience and great success working with other firms in these matters and are well positioned to continue to do so.  We are proud of our representation of our corporate clients in these class action defense matters.  If you require representation in such a matter, we hope you will contact Mr. James Moughan directly at jmoughan@britthankins.com or (215) 569-6936.
