During the past five years, New York’s Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann has been involved in settlements topping $5 billion in suits related to the mortgage meltdown.
The crown jewel came in April, when the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York finalized a $2.4 billion settlement with Bank of America Corp. in a securities class action stemming from losses from the bank’s merger with Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. Partners Max Berger, Steven Singer, Hannah Ross, Mark Lebovitch and John Rizio-Hamilton led the suit on behalf of the Ohio and Texas state retirement systems, along with co-counsel from Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer and Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check.
