Large-Scale Litigation

At Ayuela Jiménez, we help your business minimise the risk of collective lawsuits and large-scale legal proceedings with the appropriate legal advice and preventative measures tailored to your organisation.

Protection of corporate interests

Every business or organisation faces the risk of economic losses, reputational damage, or legal sanctions as a result of a collective lawsuit or a complex civil liability case. In these large-scale proceedings, even individuals or entities from different countries may become involved.

Complexity is the biggest challenge. There is a large amount of evidence and parties involved, which is why the legal team handling the litigation must be specialised in the subject matter and surround itself with other legal experts to identify all the potential consequences of the case for the company. It is important to note that a ruling of this magnitude can set precedents for future lawsuits or indirectly affect third parties related to the process.

Multidisciplinary legal advice

Large-scale litigation requires thorough analysis and a multidisciplinary legal team with the experience to manage large amounts of information. At Ayuela Jiménez, we defend your business against collective actions, including international ones, always seeking solutions that minimise the associated risks and protect the company’s reputation in the eyes of third parties.

Tailored solutions in complex cases

Our extensive experience in large-scale litigation allows us to defend your business against any type of lawsuit, from industrial accidents to environmental damage. Our goal is to protect your organisation’s interests through customised solutions that help you anticipate possible adverse consequences of the ruling, such as new lawsuits or negative legal precedents.

We represent you through every phase of the process and collaborate with relevant bodies, both in Spain and in other jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cases are considered large-scale litigation?

Large-scale litigation cases include collective lawsuits, conflicts between countries, international commercial disputes, litigation against large corporations, and complex cases that affect entire industries. These are cases involving multiple parties or requiring the analysis of various laws, jurisdictions, or large amounts of evidence.

How does large-scale litigation affect the company’s reputation?

Beyond resolving the case, having a strong legal team will help minimise the economic and reputational consequences that often affect the company after a large-scale litigation. Our management includes crisis strategies to protect the corporate image while the case is being resolved.

Are out-of-court settlements an option in large-scale litigation?

Out-of-court settlements are a common alternative in large-scale litigation to expedite the resolution of the conflict. Trials usually take longer. However, whether to accept or reject an out-of-court settlement will depend on whether it truly protects your business’s interests.

How long can large-scale litigation last?

The duration of large-scale litigation depends entirely on the complexity of the case. Some cases can be resolved in a few months, while others can last several years, particularly those involving multiple jurisdictions. Both local laws and international treaties come into play in such cases.
