Our Approach

One of our nonprofit partners asked us to serve as the settlement trustee for a $3 million settlement in an ongoing class action lawsuit against a former juvenile justice center, involving 1,800 potential claimants. We partnered with our client to assemble a task force to notify potential claimants, assist students with preparing documentation to support their claims, review the student applications to determine eligibility, and disburse settlement funds.

The Outcome

By assisting potential claimants with receiving compensation from the settlement funds, we will play a pivotal role in reinforcing their education rights and helping them build a better future.
