Congratulations to McGowan and Hood

Last week Judge Floyd in Spartanburg gave preliminary approval to a class action antitrust settlement worth $489.7 Million. The plaintiff Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, was represented by Chad McGowan and Johnny Felder of McGowan, Hood along with Chad John Felder, Sr., Bates Felder, IS Leevy Johnson, and a lawyer from Tennessee and Washington (I’m sorry I don’t know their names, but will update if someone provides that.

The defendant was the largest maker of hospital beds in the country and was illegally bundling products (if you want to buy our beds, they come with these other products….). This is one of the 5 largest antitrust settlements in United States history.

With Ken Suggs being President of ATLA this year and this settlement, South Carolina lawyers are really making a big impact on the national scene. Good for them.
