BCLP Lawyers Interviewed by ICLG on UK Collective Actions

Partner Ed Coulson and Senior Associate Rachel Ziegler were interviewed Nov. 12 by ICLG.com on current key issues and trends in UK collective actions.

BCLP is sponsoring the ICLG Global Class Actions Symposium Nov. 16-17 in London. Ed will chair the panel “The role of the lawyer in class actions,” which will provide an overview of how lawyers have a much wider role in class actions than in usual litigation – for example, lawyers can sometimes act as entrepreneurs of the procedure. In such circumstances, what issues are raised by the rules of ethics? How does the role of the lawyer in the US differ from the role of lawyers in Europe?
