SAN FRANCISCO — A group of prominent plaintiffs lawyers saw their requested fees slashed in half on Wednesday in the Silicon Valley “no poach” case that recovered more than $400 million for engineers who once worked for Apple, Google and other major technology companies.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh signed off on the $415 million settlement with the largest defendants, and in a separate order awarded $40,043,932.50 in fees to the team led by Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein and the Joseph Saveri Law Firm. The award is less than half the $81 million in attorney fees they were seeking.
