Fulbright & Jaworski’s 2007 Litigation Trends Survey

Fulbright & Jaworski have released their fourth annual Litigation Trends Survey.  (Available for download here upon completion of on-line form).   The survey is based on interviews of in-house counsel at over 300 corporations (both here and in the U.K.).   

The survey reports a slight decrease in the total number of lawsuits against corporations, although suits involving $20+ million remained at the same level as last year.    Notably, 60% of American companies face at least one pending class action.
