Angeion Group was founded with a mission to modernize class action notice, administration, and class member payments — and take the industry into the 21st century. Angeion walks into an industry that was not known for innovation — and demands change.
Angeion continues to appeal for change in the industry. They promote 21st-century communication and money transfers that don’t require class members to trudge down to a check-cashing store to access their funds.
The Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules set up a series of public hearings to contemplate amending the rules to account for the realities of the 21st century.
Angeion fights for modernized legal noticing and funds distribution. Other legal notice providers urge the Rules Committee to maintain the status quo.
In February, Angeion Group CEO Steven Weisbrot testifies at the request of the rules committee. “The new proposed rule is rooted in commonsense and progressive logic that mirrors the current media landscape yet remains flexible enough to accommodate the changes in technology and media that currently shape, and will inevitably continue to inform, advertising performance for years into the future.” He discusses algorithmic advertising, advanced targeting using Big Data, and other high-tech tactics. “I am confident that the proposed amendment, when combined with rigorous judicial analysis, will not only safeguard class members’ right to receive the best notice practicable, but it will also increase efficacy and efficiency, to the collective benefit of all stakeholders.”
For the first time in 15 years, Rule 23 is formally amended to allow for notice by electronic or other means. Angeion propels notice into the 21st century.
Changing the rules isn’t enough. Angeion continues to advocate for clear and appropriate class member communications, modern and thoughtful digital distribution, and user-friendly class member websites and portals.
Angeion manages administration for many of the largest, most well-known, and most complex settlements in history, involving billions of dollars and hundreds of millions of class members. And they aren’t finished yet.
In 2022 alone, Angeion sends over 300 million electronic notices to class members and distributes over 10 million digital disbursements.
Angeion is projected to send 600 million electronic notices to class members and distribute over 20 million digital disbursements.
Angeion continues in its mission: to break the status quo and make the class member experience as smooth and seamless as possible. Angeion is not just changing the rules, Angeion is writing the rules — and class members, attorneys, and judges are taking notice.
We’re a team of 130+ people across 3 continents. We maintain a trusted and proven track record in over 2,000 class action administrations and notice programs, and we’ve distributed over $12 billion to class members.
