Thomas E. Loeser

Mr. Loeser’s practice has included the prosecution and resolution of dozens of complex actions against the titans of industry, including national banks, insurers, builders, title companies, carmakers, mortgage lenders, trucking companies and nationwide retailers. Mr. Loeser specializes in the prosecution of cases that are not just complex because of the legal and procedural issues involved, but also because of the technological sophistication of the products, services or bad acts underlying the legal claims.

Mr. Loeser has worked extensively on many of the largest consumer class cases in U.S. history. These include legion auto defect cases such as the $10 billion Volkswagen “Clean Diesel” MDL and the related $1.3 billion Volkswagen Franchise Dealer litigation. Mr. Loeser has worked on dozens of data breach and privacy cases including the massive 2022 T-Mobile data breach case where Mr. Loeser was appointed to leadership, and the antitrust case against Meta for its abusive collection of consumer data. Mr, Loeser’s role in these cases touched on all aspects of litigation, including leadership, strategy, discovery, depositions, legal briefing and settlement.

Mr. Loeser’s work has garnered praise from the plaintiffs class action bar, who regularly ask him to speak at class action conferences, and from judges, including Judge Beth Labson Freeman in San Jose who remarked on the record:

“It’s not simple, you make it look easy, and that's the art of what you do, Mr. Loeser, and the Court certainly appreciates the good work in this case, and in recognition of the many cases that your firm has handled over the years.”
