Description | Charles Kopel specializes in price-fixing class actions, government records appeals, and qui tam litigation. Together with his colleagues, Mr. Kopel has attained substantial settlements for his clients. Notable Cases: Bond Rigging: Mr. Kopel represents plaintiffs in class actions concerning conspiracies by large banks to fix the prices of bonds issued by governmental and quasi-governmental entities. These actions include: In re European Government Bonds Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:19-CV-02601 (S.D.N.Y.), seeking recovery for U.S. investors in euro-denominated bonds issued by eurozone governments; In re GSE Bonds Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:19-CV-01704 (S.D.N.Y.), seeking recovery for U.S. investors in unsecured bonds issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and In re Mexican Government Bonds Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:18-CV-02830 (S.D.N.Y.), seeking recovery for U.S. investors in Mexican government bonds. Collectively, plaintiffs in these ongoing actions have already reached settlements recovering more than $400 million on behalf of class members.

Qui Tam: Mr. Kopel represents relators in Cho et al. v. Surgery Partners Inc., et al., No. 8:17-cv-00983 (M.D. Fla.), a suit alleging that network of pain clinics and related laboratories, as well as its private equity owners, participated in a scheme to defraud federal healthcare programs by systematically billing them for medically unnecessary urine drug testing. Several defendants have already settled, agreeing to pay $41 million to resolve the claims.
