CHICAGO, May 5, 2026—Duane Morris has published the Energy, Oil, and Gas Class Action Review – 2026, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the shifting legal environment facing the global energy sector, where oil and gas companies are confronting increased scrutiny and a growing wave of high-stakes class action litigation.
As the energy industry undergoes profound transformation, this publication highlights how class actions have emerged as a critical mechanism for addressing claims tied to environmental impact, corporate governance and climate-related risk. The review offers timely insight into a litigation landscape shaped by scientific uncertainty, geopolitical pressures and the accelerating transition to alternative energy sources.
Designed for legal professionals, executives and compliance leaders, the Energy, Oil, And Gas Class Action Review – 2026 serves as both a strategic road map and a day-to-day reference guide. Written by Duane Morris partners Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. and Jennifer A. Riley, with contributions from members of the Class Action Defense Team and the Energy Industry Group, the new eBook provides a broad array of analysis and information from their extensive experience in defending class action litigation in this industry.
“In today’s environment, class action litigation is no longer limited to discrete disputes; – it is playing a central role in broader debates around accountability, disclosure and the future of energy,” said Maatman. “This publication is designed to help companies understand and respond to these complex and evolving risks.”
“We developed this resource to serve as a practical desk reference for companies navigating class action exposure in the energy sector,” added Riley, “Understanding these trends is essential for building effective, forward-looking defense strategies.”
