TikTok Consumer Privacy Litigation Counsel Moves for Fees After Initial Approval of $92M Settlement
“Late last week, the three law firms spearheading a TikTok consumer privacy suit, which accused the company of illegally sharing users’ data with the Chinese government, moved for an award of attorneys’ fees of 33.33% of the non-reversionary $92 million settlement. The filing stresses that plaintiffs,” reports Christina Tabacco in Law Street.
“Counsel investigated and developed the case on their own, engaged in over a year of litigation, directed experts to delve into TikTok’s source code, and pursued two hard-fought mediations. The case dates to the Trump Administration, when the short video 0sharing app came under scrutiny for its ties to the Chinese government.”
