TapTechNews August 10th news, Reuters reported today (August 10th) that two groups of law firms are lobbying the judge to let him be in charge of the consumer class action lawsuit, alleging that Apple is suspected of monopolizing the smartphone market.
The local judge in New Jersey, Julien Neals, is currently presiding over the class action lawsuit, and currently two groups of law firms are competing for the role of the plaintiff's lawyer group in this class action lawsuit.
TapTechNews learned from the report that the two groups of law firms are:
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, Girard Sharp, Seeger Weiss, Seeger Weiss and Carella, Byrne, Cecchi, Brody & Agnello
Hausfeld and Susman Godfrey
These two former lawyer groups are competing for the role of the plaintiff's lawyer. If the settlement is successful, its value may be as high as several billion dollars, and thus can also obtain a generous attorney fee.
