Steve Cirami
I am a class action and mass tort attorney by trade, who, for the past two decades, has served in various capacities on the business side of the financial and legal worlds. Since graduating Duke Law School in 1998, I have served in nearly every capacity of the class action process. I have litigated class actions, negotiated class action settlements, and consulted with hundreds of parties in drafting class action settlement agreements and setting up a notice and claims process. I have served as an expert witness, testified as both a notice expert and fact witness in dozens of class actions, and have been personally appointed by Courts as both a Special Master and Fund Administrator. I have been integrally involved in the set up and implementation of dozens of historic class action administration programs, and I am proud to have been recognized as one of LawDragon’s Top 100 Leading Legal Strategists and Consultants multiple times. I served as the Global Head and Chief Operating Officer of one of the oldest and largest class action and mass tort claims administrators, and now lead the Corporate Action and Class Action teams for Broadridge Financial Services – a global FinTech and S&P 500 company. My interest in class actions and mass torts predates my graduation from law school; I have been writing about the class action process for over 20 years dating back to a paper I wrote on the topic of Amchem and FRCP 23, and even further back when I assisted one of my law professors with an article he wrote on the Bill of Peace entitled “A Distant Mirror: The Bill of Peace in Early American Mass Torts and Its Implications for Modern Class Actions”. In April 2016, I was interviewed by Law Dragon, which can be found here: www.lawdragon.com/2016/04/27/lawyer-limelight-stephen-cirami/, and in 2018 I was a contributing author to Duke Law School’s Guidelines and Best Practices regarding the rule changes to FRCP 23: https://judicialstudies.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Class-Actions-Best-Practices-Final-Version.pdf
