14th Annual Class Actions Colloquium

Paul-Erik Veel was invited to speak at the OBA's 14th Annual Class Actions Colloquium. He shared his expert insights on the panel "Managing Stakeholders in Class Actions." Paul-Erik discussed pre- and post-certification communications with class members, including when defendants can contact class members to make settlement offers or encourage opt-outs. He also provided tips for class counsel and claims administrators on communicating with class members, addressed the role of intervenors and amicus in dealing with class members seeking to object to settlements or fees, or seeking to opt-out late, and discussed when honoraria are appropriate.
