Liaison Counsel

Liaison counsel is a lawyer appointed to serve as a bridge between groups involved in a legal matter, such as multiple parties in a class action lawsuit or multidistrict litigation. Their role is to facilitate communication and coordination among the various attorneys, ensuring that information is shared effectively and that everyone is on the same page. This helps avoid duplication of efforts and streamlines the legal process. Liaison counsel often helps manage logistical issues, organizes meetings, and represents the interests of a group of clients to the court.
