Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll partner Joseph Sellers just won approval of a major settlement in a decades-old discrimination class action, for what he hopes is the last time.
Sellers represents a class of Native American farmers and ranchers who faced discrimination in loan processing by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The case involved thorny discovery, the testing of new legal theories, and complex settlement negotiations with the Justice Department. For Sellers, it was about returning what was owed to some of the country’s most marginalized citizens.
