After four years of court battles and lobbying in New Hampshire, Nixon Peabody lawyers are set to reap more than $20 million in contingency fees for their role helping medical malpractice policyholders in the state secure $110 million in excess premiums paid to a quasi- governmental insurance fund.
In litigation that involved eight discrete actions in various legal and administrative venues, the firm’s lawyers succeeded in blocking New Hampshire lawmakers from transferring the excess payments to the state’s coffers and in winning the funds back for policyholders.
