Our first Settlement Scorecard is live! We just reviewed the $95 million Apple Siri settlement. The result? Let's just say it's not a proud moment. See the full breakdown here: leftsideofthev.substack.com/…

This is a question, not a political statement. Does anyone have any guess on how it will play out when these large law firms make good on their commitments to Trump and collectively provide hundreds of millions of dollars in pro bono services? 🧵

Another great wildfire jury win and a reminder that not all plaintiff firms are the same. We’re at the front end of a new era -- the "return of the jury trial" in large-scale mass and class actions- which makes its much easier to see the difference in results across firms. Our view is a simple one: firms that actually take cases to trial—and win—consistently deliver outsized results for their clients, instead of settling on the cheap. That contrast will be even sharper in the #EatonFires litigation, where wildfire victims have so many firms to choose from.

Class action trials were once a myth—now, they’re changing everything. With over $1 billion in verdicts in recent years, we’re showing that corporations can’t just buy their way out with lowball settlements. The era of bad deals that serve only corporations and class counsel is ending. Huge credit to our team and our great co-counsel @tbslaw for helping lead this change. #ClassActions #Gambling #Reform

Breaking news: The Court granted, in large part, our TRO against SoCal Edison preventing them from destroying potentially critical evidence. We will be making statements in the next few hours. #EatonFire #CaliforniaWildfires

Really excited to have another exceptional trial lawyer join the firm. As we've been saying, we're entering a new era in high-stakes litigation with the return of trials for class actions and mass actions. While mass torts have, of course, involved trial work, generally it is bellwether trials that lead to quick settlements. Given the change in jury views and the increased emphasis on delivering real results to clients, aggregate litigation is increasingly going the distance. Ali is a huge addition to our trial team which is preparing for 14 large trials in the next year. @edelsonpc reuters.com/legal/legalindus…

Our class action is on file. We are representing Columbia University students who have been displaced from campus because the school could not guarantee their safety. We support peaceful protests but when a sliver of them invites and engages in violence including saying all "Zionist's" (read "Jews") should be killed and calls for terrorists attacks on American soil, that has no place in our country. It also detracts from important debates our nation should be having. Columbia has long boasted a strong DEI program that prevents the targeting of vulnerable groups. Our suit alleges it needs to enforce its policies and let students feel free to study, take finals and otherwise be students without worrying they will be assaulted. We are proceeding on a breach of contract theory and are seek in immediate injunctive relief.

Major filing tomorrow.

Very appreciative that @LelandVittert had me on tonight to discuss our decision to stop on campus interviewing at Harvard Law. newsnationnow.com/us-news/ed…

We have made the decision to stop our on-campus recruiting at @Harvard_Law following Dr. Gay's congressional testimony. An article, which links to our letter, follows. reuters.com/legal/government…

Who's going to win the AI arm's race in high-stakes legal work? I'm betting on well-resourced plaintiff's firms with competition coming from boutique defense firms. BigLaw loses $ by being efficient. at.law.com/j8gVzX?cmp=share_… via @TheNLJ

Historic day for our clients. #Wildfires Jury Adds Punitives to $72M Wildfire Verdict, Another $28.1B Possible Against PacifiCorp at.law.com/rzmphd?cmp=share_… via @lawdotcom

Portland Labor Day Fire jury verdict just came down. Pretty close to a clean sweep. Jury found each member of class has established liability and assessed about $80m for just our 17 named plaintiffs. It found that the defendant acted willfully. Next step is punitive damages.

We now have the most consequential decision on #classaction settlements in over a decade. The attorneys negotiated a "$20m" class settlement and sought $6m in fees. But there's a kicker that the public isn't on to yet: law.justia.com/cases/federal…

And it's now in the hands of the jury. Really proud of our team. #classaction #wildfires kgw.com/article/news/local/c…

Really proud of our team. 27% claims rate with individuals getting as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars. #classaction #wetalkaboutclaimsrates @edelsonpc
