Since 2006, Zachary Andrew McEntyre has been a partner at King & Spalding LLP, focusing his work on complex commercial litigation. One of the most common forms of litigation Zachary Andrew McEntyre deals with is the class action lawsuit, in which many consumers band together to address a perceived grievance. Class action suits allow individuals too numerous to all come before a single court to seek a judgment. While it only takes one person to start such a suit, the class can be broad, encompassing hundreds or even thousands of potential claimants. Some common types of class action lawsuits include employee discrimination, false advertisement, or product defects. Consumer advocates argue that class actions make it easier for consumers to seek judgments because it can take less time to settle class actions than many individual lawsuits. Others argue that class actions mostly benefit lawyers, not consumers, and unfairly increase litigation expense and exposure for businesses.
