Zachary Andrew McEntyre is an Atlanta-based attorney and a partner at King & Spalding, LLP, a global law firm that focuses on complex commercial litigation. Zachery Andrew McEntyre was recently named one of 40 lawyers in Atlanta under 40 who are ‘On the Rise’ and who the Daily Report anticipates will make a lasting contribution to the legal community. His legal practice focuses on representing corporate defendants who are facing class-action lawsuits.
Trials are extremely time-consuming, and generally, the parties involved would prefer to avoid them. Fortunately, many class action lawsuits are resolved before going to trial via a process called settlement. When a class action lawsuit is settled, the defendant may have to establish a fund to compensate the victims. The judge presiding over the class action will make a review to determine if the compensation is fair to the class members. The judge then approves the settlement to make it final. If the class action is not resolved, then it will proceed to a trial before a jury in a court. Though it is still possible for the case to settle during the trial, if it does not, the jury will have to find in favor of either the class members or the defendants.
