Class Action in Action Season 2 | #1 Roger Cooper from the United States

18 March 2026

The world of class actions is undergoing rapid transformation. Legislative frameworks are evolving and collective litigation is gaining traction, placing more organisations at the centre of complex mass claims.

In season two of the Houthoff podcast series Class Action in Action, defence lawyers from different jurisdictions once again share their insights and expectations for the near future. Together with Dave Cohen, they discuss emerging trends, their profession, and the landmark cases shaping the field.

Roger Cooper is partner at the New York–based and esteemed law firm Cleary Gottlieb, where he leads the securities and M&A litigation practice. While class actions have a long-standing history in the United States, the field continues to evolve. The growing number of cases linked to developments in AI alone shows that this trend is only accelerating.

About the 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.
