Class Action Litigation

As a principal focus of our litigation practice, KMK’s Class Action / Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Practice has established the reputation for being aggressive and nimble in defending complex litigation.  We partner with some of our most prominent public and private company clients in these “bet the company” cases, and provide extensive experience, proven case management strategies, and exceptional service at Midwest hourly rates and through alternative fee arrangements.

KMK has an established reputation and a proven track record of success in vigorously defending securities, ERISA, financial-services, antitrust, wage and hour / employment discrimination, consumer-protection, tort, contract, environmental / nuisance, insurance, and other types of class action / MDL cases.   We understand the complexities of managing large-scale litigation, and clients frequently hire us to defend them in class action cases pending in federal and state courts around the country.

We work with our clients to aggressively, creatively, and effectively defend class action litigation with agreed-upon strategies, efficient case management and staffing, e-discovery capabilities, and litigation budgets or project budgeting.  We work to win cases with limited disruption and distraction to our clients' business operations.  We monitor class action developments around the country so we do not reinvent the wheel with every new case, and help create new law on occasion.

We control our internal firm costs by maintaining a single-city office and investing instead in people and technology.  Clients do not pay for the overhead of multiple offices, the costs of coordinating attorneys working in multiple offices, or disparate rates within a defense team.  Our one office philosophy allows us to provide the same or better quality service as big-city, multi-office firms — at Midwest billing rates.  At KMK, we handle class action and MDL cases at significantly less litigation expense.

When you need to partner with a law firm on your next “bet the company” case and want to avoid the stereotypical and expensive “Big Law” approach to defending these cases, consider a proven alternative — KMK’s Class Action / MDL Practice.
