Practice Overview

Expanding Class Action Advocacy Beyond Core Focus Areas

In addition to its work in securities litigation, corporate transactional & derivative litigation, and consumer litigation, Wolf Popper also prosecutes class actions in a range of additional areas of federal and state law. These cases often involve systemic misconduct that results in financial loss or legal harm to large groups of individuals, employees, consumers, or businesses.

The firm has pursued class action matters in the fields of antitrust, ERISA, Truth in Lending Act (TILA) violations, and other statutory or common law claims that warrant collective redress.

Antitrust Class Actions

Wolf Popper represents businesses and consumers harmed by anticompetitive conduct prohibited by federal and state antitrust laws. These actions seek to protect the integrity of the marketplace, restore fair competition, and recover damages for those adversely affected.

Our antitrust class action work has involved conduct such as:

• Price-fixing and collusive pricing agreements
• Unlawful monopolization and abuse of dominant market power
• Market allocation and non-compete arrangements designed to eliminate competition
• Tying arrangements that force the purchase of unwanted products or services
• Bid rigging in procurement or contracting processes
• Supply restrictions or coordinated output limitations

These cases aim to protect consumers and businesses from inflated prices, reduced choices, and unfair market conditions.

ERISA Class Actions

Wolf Popper has represented employees, retirees, and plan participants in class actions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA establishes legal standards to protect individuals participating in employer-sponsored retirement and welfare benefit plans.

Claims typically involve breach of fiduciary duty by individuals responsible for overseeing plan assets. ERISA requires fiduciaries to:

• Act solely in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries
• Act prudently and in accordance with established standards of care
• Diversify plan assets to minimize the risk of large losses
• Follow plan documents and comply with ERISA’s statutory requirements

Fiduciaries and senior corporate executives are prohibited from conflicts of interest, self-dealing, or misusing plan assets. Wolf Popper seeks to hold fiduciaries accountable when their actions harm plan participants or compromise retirement savings and benefits.

TILA Class Actions

Wolf Popper represents consumers harmed by unlawful lending practices under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). TILA is designed to promote fairness and transparency in the extension of consumer credit and requires lenders to provide clear and accurate disclosures regarding loan terms and costs. TILA cases often involve:

• Inadequate or misleading disclosure of credit terms
• Hidden or excessive fees in consumer lending
• Misrepresentations relating to interest rates, APR, or repayment obligations
• Unfair lending practices affecting mortgages, credit cards, home equity loans, and other consumer credit

These class actions seek compensation for borrowers and promote compliance among lenders, banks, and financial institutions.
