Norton Rose Fulbright’s 2024 Annual Litigation Trends Survey indicates that class actions involving antitrust, securities and bank and financial fraud have grown.
In the wake of last year’s banking crisis, the share of organizations involved in bank or financial fraud class actions more than doubled, to 21% in 2023 from 9% in 2022.
In addition, 18% experienced a securities class action last year (up from 10% in 2022), and it is an area of future concern for 31% of organizations that experienced class actions in 2023.
