Podcast: Global Class Actions

A Matter of Law Podcast Series

03 March 2025

In recent years, class actions have taken the world by storm. While class action lawsuits in the United States have been prevalent for years, we’re seeing a rise in collective action sweeping across Europe - and across industries. The growing trend is fuelled by several factors including the increased availability of third-party funding options, legal reforms and a growing public awareness of the availability of collective redress options.

In this podcast, partners Matthias M. Schweiger, Carrie DeLone, and Matthew Felwick—introduced by senior associate Reuben Vandercruyssen—discuss the differences in class actions in the U.S., the UK, and the EU, and how companies can mitigate risk.

Authored by Carrie DeLone, Matthias M. Schweiger and Matthew Felwick.
