Sound Communications Principles - Every Hilsoft plan begins with three key principles:
Plain Language
Clear,
concise wording gives laypersons the opportunity to understand all of their
rights and options in the legal process. Hilsoft experts collaborated with
the Federal Judicial Center to write and design the illustrative "model"
notices to satisfy the plain language amendment to Rule 23, available at
www.fjc.gov.
Noticeable Design
Notices
must be “noticed” in order to be effective.
Clear fonts large enough to be
easily read.
Headlines to effectively gain
reader attention.
Placement to optimize
noticeability.
Targeted Dissemination
Using
media audience data to quantify the "net reach" of class members, Hilsoft
determines the best way to disseminate notice through an optimal mix of
media and other methods.
Judicial Recognition
Hilsoft’s
notices and notice plans have been recognized by numerous federal and state
courts and have withstood appellate challenge, including to the U.S. Supreme
Court. Hilsoft notice plans invite courts to understand the communication
principles and multiple strategies needed to ensure the “best notice
practicable” and full satisfaction of due process.
CAFA
CAFA has new and specific requirements on the timing and
dissemination of class notices to federal and state officials. Hilsoft helps
clients ensure CAFA notice requirements are satisfied including a tested
protocol to notify these officials.
Direct Media Buying
Years of media
buying experience – in-house, not through buying services – placing hundreds of
millions of dollars of media, results in a highly cost-effective use of
funds. Hilsoft has the proven ability to negotiate the lowest rates and best
quality positions.
