Email Spam Class Action Defense

When faced with a spam class action, turn to Kronenberger Rosenfeld: a firm that has been at the forefront of spam litigation.

Spam litigation can be costly for defendants, and when spam claim are brought as class actions, the risks increase significantly. Spam class actions are where the recipient of the email is not just suing on his/her behalf, but also on behalf of all others who received similar emails. Because businesses typically send out thousands if not millions of emails, and because spam laws may allow class members to recover up to $1,000 per email, spam class actions quickly become “bet-the-company” lawsuits. Rest assured, we are email spam class action defense experts.
