Shawn Williams, a partner at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd representing the shareholders, called the settlement an “outstanding result” for the class.
The settlement covers investors who bought Apple shares in the two months between Cook’s comments and the revenue forecast for the year 2018.
All of this because of an off-the-cuff remark by CEO, Tim Cook; the legal firm gets around $120 million for a rather trivial lawsuit.
The firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd have also sent a dispatch to Universities regarding the horrors of anti-semitism, in part:
Law students and professors expressing support for Hamas or similar terrorist groups, for violence against Jews, or for the destruction of Israel would not be welcome at our firms. Such views are antithetical to our support and legal advocacy for human rights recognized by all civilized peoples and for the right of Israel to exist. We condemn hatred and racism directed against any group of people.
We ask you to ensure the safety of Jewish law students and to condemn without qualification this rising antisemitism. We also ask that you investigate and, if appropriate, take disciplinary action against any faculty or employees of your institutions that make statements or take actions that promote antisemitism or create a hostile campus environment in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd is a supporter and activist in many community organizations including Stand With Us, The Zimmer Children’s Museum, The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles (having served for several years on the PK-12 committee), WIZO, and The Simon Wiesenthal Center, to name a few.
