On the Johns Hopkins mass tort, $50 million was the number on the table before an AP story broke — the final settlement for nearly 9,000 women was $190 million. I manage communications for MDL and class action leadership teams through matters like that one, filing through settlement.
I'm regularly retained by plaintiff leadership and steering committees to manage communications around multidistrict litigation and class actions that draw significant public attention and scrutiny. The Johns Hopkins/Dr. Nikita Levy mass tort is the clearest example: $50 million was the number being floated — until an AP wire story broke the same day, picked up within hours by The Washington Post, NPR and NBC News, on a day the news cycle was supposed to belong to U.S.-Russia tensions. The final settlement for nearly 9,000 women was $190 million — the kind of work that requires keeping dozens or hundreds of co-counsel firms aligned on a single message while managing a public narrative that shifts by the week.
