Pre-Settlement Consulting Services (NEW)
CAA can help the administration phase go smoother and often
cost less through our Pre-Settlement Consulting Services.
We will analyze how best to identify class members,
notify them, design an efficient claims process, review benefit
calculation options, and help maximize class member benefits.
At the end of this consulting engagement, you will
have a detailed plan for the class administration that can
be used to finalize the settlement terms and obtain preliminary
approval from the court.
•
Notify appropriate officials of proposed settlement (NEW)
CAFA requires that appropriate state and federal officials
be notified within 10 days of the proposed settlement being
filed with the court. CAA manages this process through
our proprietary database of the officials needing to be notified.
See our CAFA
page for more details on this service.
•
Review settlement terms, alternatives
With CAA's experience, we can identify potential gaps, issues,
and points of clarification that will improve the remainder
of the case. Early review of settlement terms by CAA will
improve the claims administration process.
•
Develop allocation methodologies / serve as special master
Leveraging CAA's experience in developing damage models, CAA
has developed allocation methodologies and testified regarding
the fairness of these methodologies. CAA's president,
Matthew E. Pohl, has also
served as Special Master. This provides a seamless transition
into the administration phase of the case since the allocation
methodology can be incorporated efficiently into the claims
process.
•
Identify class members
The level of difficulty involved in identifying class members
differs greatly by case. In order to eliminate any reason
for the court to overturn the settlement or require re-notification,
it is essential that the class member list be comprehensive.
CAA will want to be involved in compiling the class list,
or at least review the methodology for creating it to assure
it is complete.
•
Preliminary approval hearing support
CAA
can develop a notice and administration plan to address any
questions the court may have regarding the notice and claims
process. We have also testified at preliminary and final
approval hearings in these matters.
