Bayer as lead strategic and global coordination counsel in mass tort litigation involving Essure, a discontinued implantable contraceptive device for women, Bayer resolved approximately 90 percent of the Essure claims and for an amount significantly less than what may have resulted from receiving adverse verdicts at trial. Our role has expanded into global coordinating counsel across 12 countries, resulting in a 100% success rate with more than 80 favorable outcomes from trial and appellate courts in France, Brazil, Spain, and Canada, and illustrates how we are on the cutting edge of global product liability and class action defense.

\n
Won dismissal for New York University as lead counsel in the defense of five putative nationwide class actions filed in the SDNY seeking the refund of tuition and fees after Covid-19 forced the University to pivot to remote learning and defeated class certification and obtained dismissal in a sixth. These cases assert claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, money had and received, conversion, and violations of New York’s consumer protection laws, GBL 349. In denying class certification, the Court found that the plaintiff failed to establish commonality, typicality, adequacy, that her counsel was inadequate, and individualized issues predominated.
\n
Won dismissal for a global consumer products manufacturer defending a putative nationwide class action in the EDNY against allegations that Selsun Blue Naturals Shampoo is allegedly not natural. The complaint alleged claims under New York’s consumer protection act, GBL 349 and 350, for alleged violations of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, for breach of express warranty; and unjust enrichment. In response to our argument at a pre-motion conference, the Court advised the plaintiff that it could file an amended complaint. The Court granted the motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety.
\n

Won dismissal of a putative class action in the EDNY against British Airways as lead counsel arising from a criminal attack on their computer systems. The named plaintiff initially asserted four claims for (1) New York’s consumer protection law, GBL 349, (2) negligence, (3) implied contract, and (4) violations of the NY data breach statute. We filed a pre-motion letter demonstrating the plaintiff lacked standing, that his claims were pre-empted by the Airline Deregulation Act, and that he failed to state a claim. At the pre-motion conference on our motion to dismiss, the Court found that the plaintiff lacked standing, his claims were pre-empted, and questioned his ability to state a claim under the NY data breach statute. The plaintiff subsequently filed an amended complaint, which we again moved to dismiss. The Court granted our motion to dismiss in its entirety and the Second Circuit affirmed.
\n
Obtained favorable resolution for British Airways as lead counsel in the defense of a putative class action complaint in state court in California on behalf of all California residents who called its customer service line while in California. The complaint asserted one cause of action for violation of California’s Invasion of Privacy Act, and in particular California penal code section 632.7, unlawful recording or monitoring of calls. We convinced the plaintiff’s counsel to dismiss the complaint without the necessity of filing a motion to dismiss.

Won dismissal for J. Crew Group, Inc. of a putative class action under federal privacy litigation, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (\"FACTA\"). The plaintiff alleged J. Crew violated FACTA by printing the first six digits and last four digits of his credit card number and sought statutory damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation. The plaintiff did not allege that he suffered any actual damages. The court granted J. Crew's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Spokeo v. Robins, holding the plaintiff had not suffered a \"concrete\" injury. This was the first district court decision within the Third Circuit to address standing under FACTA post-Spokeo and the first to make it to the Third Circuit for review, where it is pending.
\n
Settled thousands of putative class actions against Omni Hotels under California's Invasion of Privacy Act (\"CIPA\"). As the CIPA provides $5,000 in statutory damages per alleged violation, the exposure was approximately $65 million. The court approved a settlement which entailed no payment of attorneys' fees and class relief of less tha$10,000 in gift cards.
\n

Jeremy Sher is a leading international disputes practitioner, trusted by some of the world’s largest businesses to advise on their most complex, high-stakes and reputationally sensitive disputes, crises and strategic decisions. His practice spans the full spectrum of dispute resolution, including litigation, arbitration and regulatory matters.
\n
Jeremy has deep experience advising multinational corporations, financial institutions and investors across a wide range of sectors — including technology, funds and financial services, consumer goods and industrials — on issues that frequently cross borders and legal systems. He regularly acts in major commercial and corporate disputes involving allegations of fraud, breach of duty, misrepresentation, contractual interpretation, shareholder and governance issues, and post-M&A claims. His work often includes complex multi-jurisdictional proceedings, parallel regulatory inquiries and crisis management mandates requiring close coordination of legal, communications and strategic considerations.
\n
A key focus of Jeremy’s practice is helping clients identify and mitigate dispute risk before it materialises. He frequently advises on pre-litigation strategy, risk assessments and dispute avoidance planning; manages contentious aspects of corporate transactions; prepares responses to activist or investor scrutiny; and supports boards and management teams in responding to public campaigns or regulatory developments. Jeremy has particular experience assisting private equity managers and institutional investors in disputes at portfolio company and fund levels.
\n
Jeremy also leads AKD Partners’s class actions and collective redress practice outside the Americas. He has extensive experience coordinating global defence strategies across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, often in proceedings involving parallel claims and cross-border reputational risk. His representative matters span consumer protection, business and human rights, securities, corporate governance, product liability, environmental, data privacy, employment status and competition claims. He is a recognised thought leader in this area and frequently writes and speaks on emerging trends in collective litigation and mass claims.
\n
Before entering private practice, Jeremy worked in politics and public policy. He provides pro bono support to environmental and legal charities.

These cases assert claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, money had and received, conversion, and violations of New York’s consumer protection laws, GBL 349.

We filed a pre-motion letter demonstrating the plaintiff lacked standing, that his claims were pre-empted by the Airline Deregulation Act, and that he failed to state a claim. At the pre-motion conference on our motion to dismiss, the Court found that the plaintiff lacked standing, his claims were pre-empted, and questioned his ability to state a claim under the NY data breach statute. The plaintiff subsequently filed an amended complaint, which we again moved to dismiss. The Court granted our motion to dismiss in its entirety and the Second Circuit affirmed.

Jeremy Sher is a leading international disputes practitioner, trusted by some of the world’s largest businesses to advise on their most complex, high-stakes and reputationally sensitive disputes, crises and strategic decisions. His practice spans the full spectrum of dispute resolution, including litigation, arbitration and regulatory matters.
\n
Jeremy has deep experience advising multinational corporations, financial institutions and investors across a wide range of sectors — including technology, funds and financial services, consumer goods and industrials — on issues that frequently cross borders and legal systems. He regularly acts in major commercial and corporate disputes involving allegations of fraud, breach of duty, misrepresentation, contractual interpretation, shareholder and governance issues, and post-M&A claims. His work often includes complex multi-jurisdictional proceedings, parallel regulatory inquiries and crisis management mandates requiring close coordination of legal, communications and strategic considerations.
\n
A key focus of Jeremy’s practice is helping clients identify and mitigate dispute risk before it materialises. He frequently advises on pre-litigation strategy, risk assessments and dispute avoidance planning; manages contentious aspects of corporate transactions; prepares responses to activist or investor scrutiny; and supports boards and management teams in responding to public campaigns or regulatory developments. Jeremy has particular experience assisting private equity managers and institutional investors in disputes at portfolio company and fund levels.
\n
Jeremy also leads AKD Partners’s class actions and collective redress practice outside the Americas. He has extensive experience coordinating global defence strategies across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, often in proceedings involving parallel claims and cross-border reputational risk. His representative matters span consumer protection, business and human rights, securities, corporate governance, product liability, environmental, data privacy, employment status and competition claims. He is a recognised thought leader in this area and frequently writes and speaks on emerging trends in collective litigation and mass claims.
\n
Before entering private practice, Jeremy worked in politics and public policy. He provides pro bono support to environmental and legal charities.
