Kellie Lerner Named Interim Co-Lead Counsel in Replacement Tires Antitrust Litigation

Robins Kaplan LLP is pleased to announce that partner Kellie Lerner has been appointed interim co-lead counsel on behalf of direct purchasers in In re Passenger Vehicle Replacement Tires Antitrust Litigation. This significant class action alleges that major tire manufacturers, including Goodyear, Michelin, and Bridgestone, colluded to artificially inflate prices of new replacement tires for passenger cars, vans, trucks and buses sold in the United States, affecting millions of American consumers.

Lerner, along with her co-lead class counsel, will play a key role in managing motions, overseeing discovery proceedings, leading settlement negotiations, and representing the plaintiffs’ interests throughout the legal process.

“Ensuring fair pricing for consumers is a fundamental issue, and I am committed to vigorously pursuing justice on behalf of the direct purchasers affected by this alleged conspiracy," Lerner said.
