NCAA Athletes’ Lawyers Seek $45M in Fees After Winning Pay Case
Bloomberg Law is reporting that the attorneys who won a major court ruling this month invalidating some caps on pay for NCAA college athletes are seeking nearly $45 million for their work on the case.
The attorneys are from the law firms Winston & Strawn, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, Pritzker Levine LLP, and Pearson, Simon & Warshaw, according to Bloomberg’s Mike Leonard.
The request is based on fees of almost $30 million for hours spent on the complex antitrust class action, multiplied by 1.5 to reflect the case’s degree of difficulty and risk, according to the fee motion filed March 26 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
