September 11 Victim Compensation Fund (Preliminary Hearing)
Once again, as I have learned over the years here in New York, the [Milberg] firm steps up to the plate in the public interest time and time again. The social conscience of the [Milberg] firm, acting through its excellent associates and partners, help deal with crises that confront the American people and others, and I am personally in the debt of Milberg. . . . [T]hey are second among none in terms of the public interest, and I’m very, very grateful, not only to you guys for doing this, but . . . for the firm’s willingness to help out. I wanted to let everybody know that.

Swiss Banks
Milberg filed this class action suit on behalf of victims of Nazi persecution against several Swiss banks for their collaboration with the Nazis including retaining accounts and laundering illegal assets. The case settled in 1998 for $1.25 billion and the money is now being distributed among several categories of survivors who suffered as a result of Swiss wrongdoings. |

Slave Labor
Milberg filed a series of class action suits against German companies who had exploited slave and forced labor during World War II. After very long and contentious negotiations between the parties, German, US and Israeli governments, as well as international Jewish organizations, a framework agreement of an approximately $5 billion settlement was reached. The settlement is now funding several programs including slave labor and medical experimentation compensation, insurance and assets claims, as well as educational programs.
