The Plaintiffs’ Bar continues to target the transportation industry filing a record number of class and collective action lawsuits against them.

BTI Consulting has recognized the Scopelitis Class Action Defense and Complex Litigation team as one of the nation’s top 20 class action defense practices. The team has defended hundreds of class and collective actions alleging:

• Leasing regulations violations
• Violations of federal and state wage and hour laws
• Misclassifying owner-operators as independent contractors
• Claims for meal and rest break violations and expense reimbursement

Transportation companies turn to Scopelitis to defend cases that strike at the heart of the industry because they know our specialized transportation focus gives us an unparalleled depth of knowledge. Scopelitis leverages its industry knowledge and litigation experience to deliver efficiency and savings for clients looking to get past these claims and back to business.

While most class actions resolve before trial, our attorneys prepare each case with an eye to taking the case to verdict. We understand there is no “one size fits all” approach to class action defense. We work with clients to create a strategy that best serves each client’s needs.

Class and collective actions are not the only multi-faceted litigation risks facing transportation companies. Scopelitis attorneys have litigated—and, when appropriate, taken to verdict—virtually every type of dispute, including:

• High-dollar, multi-party cargo claims
• Nuanced insurance-coverage disputes
• Contract disputes
• Audits and substantial fines regarding compliance with laws, regulations, and rules
• Theft of trade secrets
• Breach of non-compete covenants

As the preeminent transportation firm in the country, our experience allows us to remain efficient and cost-competitive as well as identifying pressure points for the opposition to help reach a resolution quickly.
