US – Settling Class Actions

The Settlements Guide – First Edition

Whether, where, why, when and how to settle global antitrust matters is fundamental to the successful counselling of a client facing competition enforcement issues, and yet surprisingly little practical guidance exists to help lawyers understand the process and how to best protect the company’s interests in navigating it. The Global Competition Review (GCR) recently published The Settlements Guide, bringing together expert practitioners from 17 leading institutions around the world to fill that gap and debate the key issues in negotiating a successful settlement in antitrust matters.

Robin Adelstein, Global Head of Antitrust and Competition, and Eliot Turner, Partner, at Norton Rose Fulbright contributed the “US – Settling Class Actions” chapter, covering court approval of class action settlements and special issues for indirect purchasers and opt-out plaintiffs.
