1. Class Action Litigation and Advisory Services
Class action litigation is a legal mechanism enabling multiple victims with common interests to seek collective remedies through representative plaintiffs. This procedural vehicle is primarily utilized when numerous individuals suffer damages, individual claims involve relatively small amounts, and separate lawsuits would prove inefficient. Representative parties conduct litigation on behalf of all class members, offering economical and efficient procedural advantages.
In the securities sector, Attorney Hwang specializes in damages litigation arising from system failures and mis-selling practices, providing comprehensive legal representation in class action proceedings.
2. Real Estate Litigation, Advisory Services, and Licensing/Permitting
