Litigation Risks Arising from Hidden or “Junk” Fees with Matt Ralph and Alex Hake

How can businesses and those who advise them avoid "junk fee" lawsuits?

Hidden fees that consumers learn about late in the process of completing a transaction are increasingly targeted in state and federal legislation. Using names such as “junk fees” and “drip pricing”, these laws create new litigation risks for companies. In this episode, I interview Dorsey Partner Matt Ralph and Associate Alex Hake on the new statutes as well as FTC regulations, application in common scenarios, pending litigation claims, and what these developments mean for class action risks.
