N.C.), July 19, 2007 (Hausfeld LLP lawyers served as co-lead counsel).In 2007, US Legal 500 noted that Hausfeld LLP lawyers have “been particularly active in casessurrounding the aviation industry in recent times and is, for instance, currently representingdistribution company Niagara Frontier Distribution in class-action litigation pertaining toallegations that a group of major air cargo carriers conspired to inflate airfreight surcharges, acase that has already yielded an initial settlement in the region of $80m. Lawyers at the firm arefurthermore acting on behalf of Swedish furniture chain Ikea in a proposed class action suitinvolving similar claims. . . .6

Further recent highlights include the recovery of $28.8m for a class of retailers in amonopolization suit against tape manufacturer 3M, and a lead role in litigation surrounding analleged hydrogen peroxide cartel.INDIVIDUALS: Name partner Michael Hausfeld, based in Washington, DC, is Cohen, Milstein,Hausfeld & Toll’s best-known litigator in the antitrust sphere, and is currently involved in the aircargo carrier as well as the rubber chemicals matter.

And I thank the firm. . . for their wonderful work in this matter.”Ken Feinberg, Special Master, 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund.“Antitrust defense lawyers view Michael Hausfeld as among the top three or four antitrustlitigators in the country on the plaintiffs' side. The reason: his ability to score multimillion-dollarrecoveries from major corporations over alleged monopolistic and price-fixing conduct. Seen as"really a very, very aggressive" litigator, Hausfeld is not one to shy away from a tough fight andhas supplemented his antitrust focus with a broad range of cases focusing on civil rights andinternational human rights. He represented Holocaust survivors in their suits to get World WarII-era assets back from European Banks.”Lawdragon, October 2005“More importantly, the ingenuity here comes heavily from the lawyers on the plaintiff’s side. Itwas they who spotted something others had missed – based on an ambiguity in a ‘foreignassistance’ statute – and ran with it, all the way to the Supreme Court. Indeed the amazingaspect of F. Hoffman-LaRoche, Ltd. v. Empagran is not so much the answers it provided but thatsome of the questions needed answering at all.”7
