ISS SCAS’ analysis of 113 North American class action settlements in 2020 totaled $3.38 billion. The Top 50 report identified one plaintiff law firm surpassing the $1 billion threshold in 2020, while four other firms exceeded the $100 million mark. In comparison, last year’s Top 50 Report listed nine plaintiff law firms surpassing $100 million in settlements, but none close to the $1 billion mark.

This report lists the top 50 plaintiffs’ law firms ranked by the dollar value of final class action settlements in which the law firm was appointed as lead or co-lead counsel and ranks the top ten law firms based upon the number of settlements represented for the year.
