David J. Tigges has been elected managing shareholder/CEO of the McNair Law Firm. He succeeds Bill Youngblood, who had led the 126-lawyer, nine-office firm since 2003.
The firm is the Midlands' third largest. Tigges was with Bethea, Jordan & Griffin in Hilton Head Island when he negotiated the firm's merger with McNair in 2004. Tigges headed two offices in Beaufort County while specializing in business and tax law.
Tigges will spend about three days a week at the firm's Columbia headquarters. The firm will move this summer to the new Main & Gervais office building from the Tower at 1301 Gervais, its home for more than 30 years. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
