Through a well-established legal and operational framework, CDC establishes and manages dedicated special-purpose entities tailored to each case. These entities serve as vehicles for collective claims enforcement, enabling the efficient bundling of claims while ensuring full regulatory compliance across jurisdictions and providing robust governance structures that align the interests of all stakeholders.
In practice, these case-specific entities acquire and pursue the relevant damage claims in their own name and at their own risk, typically through a single consolidated action. In doing so, they act as the formal claimant and legal platform for complex multi-party proceedings across Europe.
The establishment and ongoing management of vehicle entities require a high degree of diligence and strict adherence to regulatory requirements that may differ materially across jurisdictions. CDC ensures that all enforcement structures are established and operated in full compliance with applicable legal and regulatory standards. For example, under German law, only duly registered legal service providers compliant with the German Legal Services Act are permitted to bundle and enforce claims in their own name.
Importantly, CDC has qualified personnel capable of serving as directors and case managers, including individuals holding the requisite credentials to act as “qualified persons” within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act.
CDC operates a fully owned and independent server infrastructure located in Germany, ensuring secure storage of confidential data and documentation in a controlled and GDPR-compliant environment. This guarantees a high level of operational independence, confidentiality and data security throughout the lifecycle of a case.
Building on this infrastructure, CDC aggregates claims, data, and evidence from large numbers of affected companies, thereby creating material synergies in the quantification of damages and the enforcement of claims.
The company further provides specialist expertise in the processing of large volumes of structured and unstructured data, as well as in the design and analysis of databases required to operate complex, multi-party cases.
CDC has extensive experience and proven strategies for achieving optimal settlement outcomes with large multinational defendants in complex scenarios involving joint and several liability and third-party contribution claims. Following the conclusion of settlements, CDC provides bespoke solutions for the disbursement and distribution of settlement proceeds to large numbers of damaged companies.
Throughout all stages of the engagement, and in particular during the data and evidence collection phase, CDC’s team can provide personalised support and dedicated helpdesk services in all major European languages, enabling effective communication with affected companies and individuals.
Over the course of more than twenty years, CDC has conceived, developed, and continuously refined a comprehensive suite of technical solutions specifically designed and calibrated to meet all of the technical and operational requirements associated with its role as the leading expert in the field of antitrust mass claims litigation.
These solutions encompass platform development, collection and management of data and documentation, case management, customer relationship management, and the establishment and maintenance of complete technical infrastructures.
In recent years, CDC has further integrated advanced artificial intelligence technology into its solutions enhancing capabilities and efficiency. All services may be seamlessly integrated into a unified operational environment or, alternatively, deployed independently according to the specific needs of the clients.
