Because Kessler Topaz prosecutes class actions on a contingency fee basis, there are no out-of-pocket fees or expenses paid by the client, regardless of the outcome of the case. If we are successful in obtaining a recovery for the class, we will apply to the court for a fee that fairly represents the work performed and risk assumed by Kessler Topaz. In securities class actions, attorneys' fees typically are awarded as a percentage of the relief achieved by the attorneys for the class.
