Michael Hausfeld’s self-titled law firm has stacked up the successes since its start in 2008. From June 2012 to July 2013, it had a hand in more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements, more than all three previous years combined, coming largely from two cases: antitrust litigation involving the air cargo industry and a high-profile football concussions case.
Commenting on this achievement, Hausfeld partner Megan Jones compared the small firm of 14 partners to a “band of brothers.” She said: “It shows we’re here to stay. Very few get to the billion-dollar mark in a year, and we did it. It’s a number that’s an accomplishment, and we know it.”
