Blank Rome partner&nbsp;<a href="/people/deborah-greenspan/" id="19090">Deborah Greenspan</a>&nbsp;will serve as a panelist at&nbsp;Global Legal Group’s&nbsp;<a href="https://global-classactions.com/">Global Class Actions Symposium 2024</a>, being held November 12 and 13, 2024, in Lisbon, Portugal.

core/paragraph

Collective redress is one of the fastest developing and most dynamic sectors of the law today. Once the preserve of litigants in just a handful of territories, sophisticated class-action regimes are now taking hold in jurisdictions on every continent, often backed by legislation, such as the European Duty of Vigilance law, which provides more causes of action for those seeking redress from big business and governments.

The European Union is witnessing a huge increase in class actions following the introduction of the European Commission’s Class Actions Directive, and while some member states have been slower than others to incorporate the directive into national legislation, it is clear that the bloc is embracing the brave new world of class actions with enthusiasm.&nbsp;

Deborah’s session, “Mass Torts,” will take place on Wednesday, November 13, from 11:50 a.m. to 12:35 p.m.

Mass torts provide the legal basis for class actions in a multitude of jurisdictions; this panel looks at how tort law is being leveraged to fit into global class action regimes.
