Six law firms have been chosen by a federal judge to head the price-fixing case against the manufacturers of batteries used in various electronics. US District Judge Yvonne Rogers selected three firms to represent direct purchasers of the batteries, and three to represent indirect purchasers. The firms chosen include: Berman DeValerio; Joseph Saveri Law Firm; Pearson, Simon & Warshal; Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro; Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein; and Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy.
