Having handled all varieties of class actions as a practicing attorney (including securities, antitrust, product liability, consumer fraud and human rights) and now overseeing and administering some of the largest class action settlements of all time, Mr. Cirami brings a unique perspective to class action claims administration and adds real value to processes from settlement discussions to administration set-up and through completion.

On numerous occasions, Mr. Cirami has been asked to testify at various Court hearings to discuss the claims process and/or claim determinations of GCG.
In addition to his experience in handling some of the largest and most complex securities settlements of all time, Mr. Cirami has overseen all types of other administrations, including dozens of human rights administrations, product liability, antitrust, ERISA, wage and hour and insurance-related matters.
