  • Counsel for the whistleblower in litigation against AbbVie involving the marketing of Humira ($27 million in settlements as of 2023)

  • Co-Lead Counsel representing the City of Philadelphia in Fair Housing Act litigation against Wells Fargo (2019 settlement with the bank’s funding city programs for communities affected by lending discrimination and agreeing to other relief)
  • Exemplar earlier cases: Rachel was co-lead class counsel or counsel for the class in consumer financial litigation over “payment protection” products, resulting in more than $50 million in settlements; she represented employee benefit plans in recovering $65 million from AXA Rosenberg; she represented a class of female financial advisors who secured $39 million plus injunctive relief from Bank of America/Merrill Lynch to settle gender discrimination claims; and she cut her teeth in the False Claims Act years ago in helping to recoup $78.5 million from the University of Phoenix in one of the largest settlements involving fraud on the Department of Education.
