WhatleyKallas and two attorneys from different firms will act as lead counsels in the antitrust case against the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and its 38 licensees.
Joe Whatley, of WhatleyKallas, which has an office in Birmingham, told me today that District Judge David Proctor chose the co-lead counsels during a hearing this morning. Whatley said his firm will represent the providers – doctors and clinics – and David Boies of New York and Michael Hausfeld of Washington, D.C. will represent the subscribers, or insurance plan buyers.
