Covers class actions, settlements and consumer enforcement
Ravi Mehta covers class actions, settlements and enforcement for Law News. Most of his reporting follows litigation against large US companies: pension and benefits disputes, consumer and product claims, privacy cases, and actions brought by the FTC and state attorneys general.
His stories set out who a case affects, what a settlement pays and what happens next, from claim deadlines to final court approval. Recent pieces include the $184 million AT&T pension settlement, the FTC settlement opening up John Deere equipment repairs, and Lensabl's malpractice claim against Ashurst Perkins Coie. In the UK, he has written on the Home Office scrapping a £138 million contract after Mastek's High Court challenge.
