As part of this effort, we acted as counsel to a court-appointed member of the Tort Claimants Committee, and our work helped lead to a $13.5 billion settlement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (resolving all claims related to several Northern California Fires, which included our clients’ claims resulting from the Camp Fire).
