Court: United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts

Leadership Position: Co-Lead Counsel

Result: $350+ million

WBE served as Co-Lead Counsel in this massive class action against pharmaceutical wholesaling giant McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”) and pharmaceutical pricing publisher First DataBank, Inc. (“FDB”). The case addressed an unlawful 5% mark-up in the Average Wholesale Prices (“AWPs”) of various drugs, causing consumers and third party purchasers such as union health and welfare funds, self-insured employers, and large insurance companies to overpay for pharmaceuticals. The case against McKesson settled for $350 million. In a separate settlement, FDB agreed to roll back its published AWPs, saving the Class many millions of dollars.
