A federal judge who compared a request for attorney fees to the contract of National Football League player Nick Bosa granted $180 million to plaintiffs firms in what he called “unusually prolonged and contentious” litigation against Facebook.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California approved the fees primarily to two plaintiffs firms—Seattle’s Keller Rohrback and Bleichmar Fonti & Auld in Oakland, California—after granting final approval of a $725 million class action settlement with Facebook’s Meta Platforms Inc. over the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
