Edelson PC
EDELSON PC is a law firm concentrating on high-stake’s plaintiff’s work ranging from class and mass actions to public client investigations and prosecutions. The cases we have litigated -- as either lead counsel or as part of a broader leadership structure -- have resulted in settlements and verdicts totalling over $20 billion. We hold records for the largest jury verdict in a privacy case ($925m), the largest consumer privacy settlement ($650m), and the largest TCPA settlement ($76m). We also secured one of the most important consumer privacy decisions in the U.S. Supreme Court (Robins v. Spokeo). Our class actions, brought against the national banks in the wake of the housing collapse, restored over $5 billion in home equity credit lines. We served as counsel to a member of the 11-person Tort Claimant’s Committee in the PG&E Bankruptcy, resulting in an historic $13.5 billion settlement. We successfully represented dozens of family members who lost loved ones in the Boeing 737-Max plane crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. We are the only firm to have established that online apps can constitute illegal gambling under state law, resulting in settlements that collectively are worth $200 million. We are co-lead counsel in the NCAA personal injury concussion cases, leading an MDL involving over 300 class action lawsuits. And we are representing, or have represented, regulators in cases involving the deceptive marketing of opioids, environmental cases, privacy cases against Facebook, Uber, Google and others, cases related to the marketing of e-cigarettes to children, and cases asserting claims that energy companies and for-profit hospitals abused the public trust.
