Labaton Keller Sucharow's Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice is one of the nation's premier practices focused on representing consumers and investors in large volume arbitrations, or so-called "mass arbitrations." This groundbreaking practice, launched in 2020, has already achieved over $250 million in recoveries for over 500,000 consumers and investors through pursuing individual arbitration claims on their behalf, something that was viewed as nearly impossible just a decade ago when the use of mandatory arbitration became common. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice represents clients in cases as diverse as data privacy, including wrongful data collection, data sharing, and data breaches, consumer banking, predatory lending, unfair and deceptive practices, and securities. The Firm has represented clients before a wide-range of arbitration forums, including the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services ("JAMS"), National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM"), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").
Labaton Keller Sucharow continually monitors for opportunities to help consumers and investors assert their legal rights in individual arbitration where they have previously been barred from doing so by a class action waiver and mandatory arbitration clause. Once clients retain the Firm to represent them, the Firm prosecutes their arbitration claims vigorously, and has filed over 100,000 arbitrations on behalf of clients. The Firm has developed cutting-edge case management technology and processes to deliver effective and quality representation to individual clients. The Firm has also pioneered the use of creative alternative dispute resolution and settlement structures to deliver results for its clients.
The Firm uses its proprietary client onboarding platform, Lantern by Labaton, to inform, communicate with, and represent its over 1 million arbitration clients. This robust and integrated platform allows for seamless client communication and empowers clients to get compensation for corporate wrongdoing.
