A few of these examples include cases on behalf of tens of thousands of employees who won the right to have their overtime claims heard in court, a case that affirmed the right of the wrongly convicted to sue negligent police forces, and cases on behalf of investors affected by financial manipulation by many of the world’s largest banks.
