Plaintiffs and Class Counsel Clause Samples

The "Plaintiffs and Class Counsel" clause defines the parties who are bringing the lawsuit (the plaintiffs) and the attorneys representing them (class counsel) in a class action case. This clause typically identifies the lead plaintiffs and names the law firms or attorneys appointed to represent the interests of the entire class. It may also outline the authority and responsibilities of class counsel, such as negotiating settlements or communicating with class members. The core function of this clause is to ensure clarity regarding representation and leadership in the litigation, helping to avoid confusion about who speaks and acts on behalf of the class.
Plaintiffs and Class Counsel shall not discuss the Agreement, its terms, or the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Released Claims with any of Harmless Harvest’s competitors or with any organizations or individuals within Harmless Harvest’s supply chain, including without limitation any Harmless Harvest customers, brokers, distributors or retail stores.

Plaintiffs and Class Counsel s Support of the Settlement: Plaintiffs as Class Representatives and Class Counsel support the Settlement. Their reasons include the risk of denial of class certification and a trial on the merits, the inherent delays and uncertainties associated with litigation, and the possibility that the Class is not entitled to any recovery. Based on their experience litigating similar cases, Class Counsel believe that further proceedings in this case, including a trial and probable appeals, would be very expensive and protracted. No one can confidently predict how the various legal questions at issue, including the amount of damages, would ultimately be resolved. Therefore, upon careful consideration of all of the facts and circumstances of this case, Class Counsel believe that the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. 1. Participating in the Settlement: Plaintiffs as Class Representatives and Class Counsel represent your interests as a Class Member. Unless you elect not to participate in the Settlement, you are a part of the Class, you will be bound by the terms of the Settlement and any final judgment that may be entered by the Court, and you will be deemed to have released the claims against AxisPoint and the other released parties described above. As a member of the Class, you will not be responsible for the payment of attorneys’ fees or reimbursement of litigation expenses unless you retain your own counsel, in which event you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees and expenses.
