Current Cases
Nuclear Power Antitrust Litigation
Dorrell, et al. v. Constellation Energy Corp. (D. Md.): Cohen Milstein, as co-lead class counsel, is representing nuclear power plant employees in a wage suppression class action against the country's largest nuclear power generation companies. The workers claim that these companies implemented, monitored, and enforced this wage fixing and compensation suppression scheme through compensation comparison reports, annual meetings, and direct communications. They also allege that two consulting companies helped the companies exchange this data.
In re Visa Debit Card Antitrust Litigation
In re Visa Debit Card Antitrust Litigation (S.D.N.Y.): Cohen Milstein, as interim co-lead counsel, represents merchants who accept Visa debit cards. Plaintiffs allege that Visa leverages its dominant position in the debit transaction network market by requiring volume commitments with merchants and banks and by inducing potential competitors not to develop or support competing payment products. Plaintiffs claim that these schemes stifle innovation, thwart competition and allow Visa to charge merchants supracompetitive fees.
Iran Beirut Bombing Litigation
Iran Beirut Bombing Litigation (D.D.C.) Cohen Milstein is litigating three Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act lawsuits against the Islamic Republic of Iran for its alleged involvement in the 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing, which killed 241 American servicemembers. This bombing was the deadliest state-sponsored terrorist attack against United States citizens before September 11, 2001. The court has awarded plaintiffs more than $1.5 billion in default judgments.
Scharpf, et al. v. General Dynamics Corp., et al.
Scharpf, et al. v. General Dynamics Corp., et al. (E.D. Va.): Cohen Milstein represents naval architects and marine engineers in a putative antitrust wage suppression class action against the nation’s largest military shipbuilders and naval engineering consultancy firms. Plaintiffs allege that starting in at least 2000, Defendants engaged in a “no poach” conspiracy by adhering to an informal “gentlemen’s agreement” among themselves not to recruit each other’s naval engineers. On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the lower court's April 19, 2024 motion to dismiss and remanded the cases for further litigation. On June 13, 2025, the Fourth Circuit denied Defendants' petition to rehear their appeal.
