Class-y Action

Client: Yuki Cheung, Cambridge Legal Risk Analytics <chyuki@gmail.com>

Many companies cause harm and damage to customers in small ways, but it's not worth employing a lawyer unless a large number of customers aggregate their compensation claims. The ability to pursue this kind of class action was introduced to British law in 2015. There is a business opportunity in identifying which companies can be most profitably sued. Thousands of people will thank you for it, and the long term effect would be to improve products and services for everyone. You will need to use social media - Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and anything else that comes to hand - to work out which companies are most likely to lose a class action suit in relation to their products or services. Your client can provide expertise in data mining of legal cases, in order to optimise training of your statistical models.
