A Federal Judge Gives Initial Approval to a $180 Million FirstEnergy Settlement

Posted on May 11, 2022 by The National Trial Lawyers

A federal judge has granted preliminary approval to a proposed $180 million settlement between FirstEnergy shareholders and a group of company executives who ran the Akron-based utility during the House Bill 6 scandal.
