What Is Plaintiffs’ Law?

Plaintiffs’ law is a branch of legal practice dedicated to representing individuals, groups, and organizations that have been wronged or injured. Plaintiffs’ attorneys champion their clients' rights, holding corporations, institutions, and other entities accountable for harm caused by negligence, fraud, discrimination, and other unlawful acts.

Attorneys on the plaintiffs’-side fight to level the playing field, often taking on powerful defendants with vast resources.
