Plaintiffs' lawyers have asked a San Francisco federal judge to award more than US$181 million in legal fees as part of a US$725 million data privacy settlement with Facebook parent company Meta Platforms resolving claims over sharing of user information with third parties.
The lawyers said the US$725 million settlement is the largest data-privacy recovery in history and the largest private settlement Facebook has ever agreed to."Nothing about this unprecedented result came easily or quickly," Derek Loeser of Keller Rohrback and Lesley Weaver of Bleichmar Fonti & Auld wrote in the filing.
The plaintiffs lawyers, Meta and an outside lawyer for the company from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the fee request on Thursday. US District Judge Vince Chhabria in February ordered Meta and Gibson Dunn to pay about US$925,000, which included fees and costs, over what he said was an effort to make the litigation unnecessarily difficult and expensive for the plaintiffs.
