A U.S. judge on Tuesday appointed two prominent U.S. law firms as co-leaders of consumer claims against Meta Platforms Inc's Facebook, saying he hoped they would put aside their dispute over control of the antitrust case and work together.
The case involves a group of consumers who contend Facebook exploited user data to maintain its market power. The company has denied the claims. Representatives for Quinn Emanuel and Facebook declined to comment, and a spokesperson for Hagens Berman did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Both firms had been appointed co-counsel in 2021 by a judge who has since been elevated to a U.S. appeals court.
