Class Action & MDL Roundup | 2025 Q2 – Exceeding Every Standard

Welcome back to the Class Action & MDL Roundup! This edition covers notable class actions from the first quarter of 2025.

In this edition, the Supreme Court lowers its standards (in ERISA suits), one circuit changes its standards (for personal jurisdiction), and another circuit toughens up its standards (for class certification). Plus, we have our usual coverage of lawsuits over drugs and pharmaceuticals, wage-and-hour rules, shareholder losses, and more. This edition’s video features the drastic increase in litigation associated with employee benefit plans.

We wrap up the Roundup with a summary of class action settlements finalized in the first quarter.

Please see full publication below for more information.
