Financial Services/Consumer Class Actions

Sidley’s Financial Services/Consumer Class Actions practice team is dedicated to defending the banking/financial services and insurance industries against the expanding array of class actions that challenge the industry’s products, methodologies and procedures. We have served as lead counsel in over 80 insurance and banking/financial services class actions in over 40 jurisdictions across the United States.

Our national team consists of more than 45 lawyers in our Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. offices. We have served as lead counsel in some of the largest multidistrict and stand alone class actions filed against the industry, and have won trend-setting rulings numerous times. The substantive knowledge of our firm’s financial services regulatory practice combined with our team's procedural experience in class action defense provides clients the highest quality representation in an efficient manner.
