Current Cases
City of Chicago v. DoorDash, Inc., and Caviar, LLC
City of Chicago v. DoorDash, Inc., and Caviar, LLC (N.D. Ill.): Cohen Milstein represents the City of Chicago in this trailblazing lawsuit, which is the result of a comprehensive investigation directed by Chicago’s Department of Law and Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection. Chicago alleges that DoorDash deceives consumers—and unfairly harms restaurants and drivers—with misleading restaurant listings, fees, menu prices, and allocation of driver tips. Filed the same day as Chicago’s parallel action against Grubhub, the lawsuit aims to establish a fairer and more transparent marketplace for meal delivery in the city. Chicago’s lawsuits against DoorDash and Grubhub are the first comprehensive law enforcement actions against meal delivery companies in the United States.
