Lead Plaintiff

A lead plaintiff is a representative chosen to act on behalf of a group of individuals or entities involved in a lawsuit, often a class action. They handle communication with the court and legal team, help coordinate the case, and make strategic decisions. Their role is to ensure the group's interests are effectively managed, making the legal process more organized and efficient. The lead plaintiff is typically someone who has been affected by the issue at hand and is selected for their ability to represent the wider group's views and goals.
