CHICAGO, February 25, 2025—Duane Morris LLP has released the Discrimination Class Action Review – 2025, the second edition of this annual publication. It analyzes the key discrimination-related class action rulings, settlements and litigation developments in 2024 and the significant trends that are apt to impact these types of lawsuits in 2025. Written by Duane Morris partners Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. and Jennifer A. Riley, with contributions from members of the Class Action Defense Group, the Discrimination Class Action Review – 2025 reflects a broad array of analysis and information from their extensive experience in defending discrimination class action litigation throughout the United States.
“Class action discrimination litigation remains an area of key focus of skilled class action litigators in the plaintiffs’ bar,” says Maatman. “After years of the tightened class certification requirements that the U.S. Supreme Court established in Wal-Mart Inc. v. Dukes, the plaintiffs’ bar has learned ‘work around’ strategies to achieve class certification with increasing frequency. As a result, courts are now becoming increasingly inclined to find for plaintiffs in class certification rulings, thereby raising the potential for large monetary remedies.”
“In the wake of large-scale social justice campaigns, businesses are being confronted with increasingly employee-friendly legislative changes and an aggressive plaintiffs’ bar,” opined Riley.
Manifesting the collective knowledge of the Duane Morris Class Action Defense Group and over 70 years’ combined class action experience of our editors, the Discrimination Class Action Review – 2025 is designed to serve as an essential desktop reference for corporate counsel and business decisionmakers to identify discrimination risks, implement mitigation strategies and better understand the significant financial burden for organizations facing discrimination class action challenges.
