Class Action
Discovery Structured for Large-Scale Litigation
SMI Aware supports class action mass tort, and large-scale litigation teams with disciplined social media and online discovery designed to inform certification strategy, assess credibility, and evaluate exposure in aggregated proceedings.
Class litigation requires consistency. Discovery involving named plaintiffs and putative class members must align with broader litigation posture while remaining proportionate and defensible at the individual level.
Since2011, SMI Aware has supported complex litigation nationwide requiring uniform methodology and evidentiary discipline.
Built for Certification and Merits Strategy
Class proceedings often hinge on representations, commonality arguments, damages assertions, and credibility assessments. Online activity may be relevant, but only when reviewed consistently and documented with care.
SMI Aware conducts targeted discovery aligned with case theory and certification strategy.

- Review of named plaintiffs and selected class members
