HAGENS BERMAN

Elizabeth A. Fegan - Partner

Ms. Fegan is a partner at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro's Chicago office where she has worked since 2004. Her practice includes a variety of complex commercial class action cases in the areas of antitrust, pharmaceutical litigation, insurance fraud, consumer protection and employment discrimination. Beth's recent successes include the pending settlement of a nationwide class action alleging sexual harassment on behalf of 16,000 current and former female employees of a commercial property brokerage firm. In addition to requiring changes to human resources policies and procedures, the innovative settlement affords class members the opportunity to participate in a stream-lined claims process that provides the potential for individual awards up to $150,000 per class member.

Ms. Fegan's current cases include the Clear Channel Live Rock Concert Antitrust Litigation, the Baby Products Antitrust Litigation, the Midland Senior Annuities Fraud Litigation, and the American Equity Senior Annuities Fraud Litigation.

Before Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, Ms. Fegan was a partner at The Wexler Firm in Chicago. Her legal work consisted of finance lending discrimination lawsuits, pharmaceutical and antitrust litigation, civil rights charges and suits, and auditing and accounting malpractice litigation. She also served as legal writing instructor at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

While previously practicing at Shefsky & Froelich, Ltd. in Chicago, Ms. Fegan served in several local government appointments and on a special master team in federal and state court. The local government appointments included positions as special assistant corporation counsel to the city of Chicago, the Chicago Park District and the Public Building Commission of Chicago.

Ms. Fegan received her law degree from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. While there, she was editor at large of the Loyola Law Journal in which she published "Home Rule Hits the Road in Illinois: American Telephone & Telegraph Company v. Village of Arlington Heights."
