Attys For Southern Co. Clean Coal Investors Get $24M
Law360 (February 5, 2021, 3:12 PM EST) A Georgia federal judge approved just over $24 million in fees to attorneys for a class of Southern Co. investors accusing the company of misleading them about a botched plan to build a clean coal plant in Mississippi, trimming the initial request by about $2.1 million.
In an order granting the attorney fees Thursday, U.S. District Judge William M. Ray said the unusually good recovery in the settlement warrants a greater than average take-home for lead counsel from Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP. But, the court declined to grant class counsel s full request for a 30% share of the $87.5.
