Saber is known for its representation in complex class actions, and representative actions under the California Private Attorney General Act (PAGA). These types of actions exponentially increase the exposure faced by a client. An individual claim that might appear to be relatively small is amplified to action by large numbers of employees which can last up to four years.
Thus, Saber’s unique approach pays off. Firstly, early evaluation leads to the most effective strategy for quick resolution, whether summary judgment, defeating class certification, participating in early mediation, or going to trial.
Unlike many other law firms, Saber has the capacity to analyze, as well as conduct large-scale document collection, review and production in-house which is a cost-savings to clients. In addition, Saber’s approach ensures our attorneys are intimately aware of all of the details of the case and best positioned to successfully advocate for clients.
