USDC Northern District of California
CPM, with Block & Leviton, filed a lawsuit against Lowe’s HIW, Inc. (“Lowe’s”) on June 15, 2012, alleging that Lowe’s misclassified all California installers as independent contractors in violation of California law. The Honorable Jeffrey S. White granted Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification in August 2013, certifying the class of California installers and appointing Block & Leviton and CPM as class counsel. The firms successfully achieved a $6.5 million settlement on behalf of the class of California installers, which was preliminarily approved on June 25, 2014 and is awaiting final approval.
