For the sixth time in seven years, Berger & Montague was selected as one of the nation’s top plaintiffs’ law firms. In naming the firm to its “Hot List,” The National Law Journal cited the $475 million settlement with Merrill Lynch over its subprime mortgage securities, a $250 million settlement for an antitrust case against the makers of the drug Tricor, and a $45 million “opt-out” settlement with Qwest Communications.

The “Hot List” recognizes outstanding plaintiffs’ law firms for their “exemplary, cutting-edge work.”  The winning firms had to prevail “in a bench or jury trial when the stakes were high, meaning that a substantial amount of money was at issue, or that the case could affect the litigation strategy or outcome of similar cases nationally.”  The National Law Journal also focused on “wins that could effect significant social change or civil rights gains.”
