In Italy, mass claims are relatively new. In recent years, the number of cases has grown significantly, with 35 new cases filed in 2025 alone. This development requires adjustments from both lawyers and their clients. Luca Ferrari from Milan is Head of the Finance & Financial Services Litigation Practice Area at the leading firm Chiomenti. He explains what these adjustments entail.

About the Houthoff Class Action Survey

Houthoff has been tracking the evolution of class actions for several years through its Class Action Survey, a 360‑degree analysis of trends across multiple jurisdictions. Since the first edition seven years ago, developed with leading international law firms, the survey has been updated to reflect changes in the class action landscape. This year, we have expanded the survey further, introducing a concise executive version and extending its scope to 16 jurisdictions and law firms.
