Due process in class action notice has long required "a desire to actually inform." Despite this, courts are increasingly concerned that notices have gone, or will go, unnoticed or misunderstood. When presented with a stipulated notice proposal, courts may wonder: Are there disincentives for the parties to provide effective notice? Did bidding vendors arrive at the "best practicable" notice plan, or the least that would be acceptable?
The Hilsee Group LLC serves courts, special masters, and lawyers as a neutral class action notice expert and bankruptcy notice expert. An independent voice for effective notice and due process, The Hilsee Group is not paid to administer notice programs. With experience and impartiality, The Hilsee Group helps courts ensure that satisfactory notice is afforded to class members, claimants, or others affected by legal notifications in the United States, Canada, and around the world.
As a neutral expert not involved in notice plan design or implementation, The Hilsee Group provides analysis/independent testimony on the adequacy of the notice effort--which is particularly critical before money and time are spent to disseminate notice, and/or before a settlement is finally approved.
