Our litigators of the week are Shawn Williams and Mark Solomon of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, who represented a class of Apple shareholders accusing the company of misleading investors about the trajectory of its business in China in late 2018. Last week, after U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California previously let core claims survive Apple's motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment, the judge gave final approval to a $490 million settlement in the case.
