Google has engaged Donald B. Verrilli Jr., former U.S. Solicitor General and a prominent Supreme Court attorney, to represent the company in high-profile litigation alleging monopolization of the online search market. The tech giant is currently defending itself in an $800 million class action lawsuit brought by Android users who claim Google misappropriated their cellphone data. This case is notable as class actions rarely proceed to trial. Additionally, Google faces lawsuits from Korean publishers and an app developer, and it has successfully convinced a Manhattan federal court to dismiss part of a lawsuit filed by leading educational publishers accusing Google of unlawfully promoting pirated electronic textbooks. The company is also involved in litigation concerning privacy practices, with debates over settlement distributions involving class members and organizations such as the ACLU and Harvard.
