Resolute Systems’ process eliminates the administrative details for all Professionals in Class Actions. Resolute Systems works closely with all parties to provide strong administrative leadership and support in a team environment. We have the administrative expertise to promptly move the case to judgment without wasting time.
Administration of the examination, division and distribution of final individual awards in class action cases are critical, risky and clogging. Critical, because until a division plan is Court approved, plaintiff attorney fees and expenses are usually not payable. Risky, because unless final awards are determined objectively and fairly, it can produce a legal malpractice lawsuit. And, clogging because until judgment, it remains on the court docket and an “open” insurance file.
