Consumer Class Actions: How Stratejic Relationships Helps Uncover the Human Impact Behind Corporate Misconduct

Consumer Class Actions: How Stratejic Relationships Helps Uncover the Human Impact Behind Corporate Misconduct
Consumer Class Action

April 16, 2025

Class action lawsuits are about more than numbers—they’re about patterns of harm that affect real people. When corporations cut corners, mislead consumers, or violate protections on a mass scale, it takes more than documents to hold them accountable. It takes voices.

At Stratejic Relationships, we help trial lawyers amplify those voices by connecting them with harmed former employees, insiders, and other individuals with firsthand knowledge of deceptive practices. Whether you're building a consumer fraud case or a product liability class action, our approach provides the human insight needed to back your legal strategy.

Why Insider Testimony Strengthens Class Action Cases

Consumer class actions often face powerful corporate defendants armed with legal resources. Plaintiffs' lawyers need more than product recalls and policy statements—they need testimony from those who witnessed the harm unfold from within.

Stratejic supports this effort by helping lawyers:

  • Identify and locate former employees who observed company misconduct
  • Understand how corporate policies led to consumer deception or harm
  • Corroborate consumer complaints with internal perspectives
  • Show patterns of knowledge, neglect, or concealment

This level of evidence adds both credibility and context—two elements juries and judges need to see the full picture.

A Strategic Approach to Class Member Recruitment

In class actions, especially at early stages, identifying class representatives and verifying claims is a critical hurdle. Stratejic assists with:

  • Providing verified lists of former employees relevant to the affected departments or product lines
  • Locating class members who were impacted but haven’t yet joined the suit
  • Offering insight into internal communications or decisions that shaped corporate behavior

By connecting legal teams with key people behind the scenes, we help turn speculation into proof—and strengthen certification, liability, and damages phases of litigation.

Conferring with the Whistleblower provided to me by Stratejic just prior to an important series of depositions provided me with invaluable insights into how my Defendant secretly conducted their business. Twenty minutes into my questions, and the first deponent had shredded the Defense, facilitating settlement. This is a service I will continue to use.
