Fundamentals of Consumer Arbitration and Class Actions in 2025
Friday, March 14 | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM EST
 
Many consumer financial laws have private rights of action, and evolving enforcement under these laws generates a large number of cases in both federal and state courts and in arbitration, because many consumer financial products require consumers to agree to arbitrate disputes. This session will help participants to:
 
  • Understand typical arguments on legal and factual issues in private litigation, including arguments used to support and oppose class certification
  • Analyze the different strategies relevant to pursuing litigation vs. arbitration
  • Navigate the world of mass arbitrations, where hundreds or thousands of claimants file parallel arbitration proceedings alleging similar conduct by the same defendant
Panelists:
- F. Paul Bland, Jr.
- Christopher R. Fredrich
