The law firms of Blackwell Sanders & Husch Eppenberger will be known as Husch Blackwell Sanders following their merger in a few weeks.
The name was decided by a coin toss “because we felt that in a true merger of equals this was the most fair way to determine the new name,” said Joseph P. Conran, co-chairman of the new firm.
Partners at the two firms last month overwhelmingly approved the merger, which will create a firm with 630 attorneys in offices in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and Jefferson City, Mo.; Omaha and Lincoln, Neb.; Chattanooga and Memphis, Tenn.; Peoria and Belleville, Ill.; Overland Park; Washington, D.C.; and London. |

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.
