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.
