“Class Action Settlements: Navigating Brand-Safe Administration to Achieve Global Peace”

Class action settlement administration is no longer a back-end process—it is a high-stakes, customer-facing event that can directly impact brand reputation, claimant trust, and the ultimate success of a resolution.

Join Angeion Group and ACC Philadelphia for an interactive roundtable exploring how in-house counsel can take a more proactive, strategic role in guiding settlement administration and partnering effectively with defense counsel from the earliest stages of a case.

Discussion Highlights

  • Modern Notice in a Brand-Safe Environment – including digital, email, and in-app communications that enhance—not undermine—customer trust 
  • Fraud Prevention & AI – how advanced analytics and AI-driven tools are being used to detect fraud, prevent duplicate claims, and protect settlement integrity 
  • Emerging Pressures - managing the rise of opt-out campaigns, mass arbitration, and third-party filers 
  • Designing Effective Claims Processes – balancing ease of participation with rigor and defensibility 
  • Pre-Settlement Strategy – how to evaluate administration costs, settlement structure (common fund vs. claims-made), and key risks during mediation 
  • Empowering In-House Counsel – practical guidance on what to expect, what to ask, and how to position yourself to drive better outcomes 

Stephanie Saunders, Michael Lynch, and Cara Braslow will lead an experience-driven discussion on what is working today and where the industry is headed. Drawing on experience across thousands of administrations for leading global brands, Angeion will provide a candid look at how modern claims administration works – and how decisions around notice, claims design, and cost structure drive outcomes.

This session will equip corporate legal leaders with practical, actionable insight to better manage outside counsel, protect brand equity, and ensure settlements are executed efficiently and with confidence.
