A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday vacated what it called an 'extraordinarily high' legal-fee award of $185 million for law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, ordering a fresh review that could reduce compensation for plaintiffs' attorneys who secured a $3.7 billion settlement with the U.S. government.
the attorneys' fee award as "untenable" and "astronomical" and urged the appeals court to strike it down.
Quinn Emanuel said in a statement that the firm was "reviewing all options for next steps" in response to the decision. The Federal Circuit panel said Federal Claims Court Judge Kathryn Davis, who issued the fee award, should have performed a particular analysis of the law firm's hours and rates in assessing its fee request.
