Hughes Hubbard Assists in Brief Rejecting State Arguments in RealPage Settlements

Nov. 3, 2025 – Law360 reported on a brief filed by a group of landlords – including Hughes Hubbard client Bozzuto Management Company – urging a Tennessee federal court to reject arguments lodged by several attorneys general who criticized $141.8 million worth of proposed antitrust settlements aimed at resolving a multidistrict litigation.

The landlords argued that their settlements release them from the antitrust claims filed by the attorneys general on behalf of the residents living in those areas. These types of claims are referred to as “parens patriae” claims, which a state files on behalf of its residents.

Hughes Hubbard is defending one of the real estate companies, Bozzuto Management Company, in a federal suit brought by New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Philip Giordano leads the firm’s team, which includes Steven DiCesare, Kristin Millay and Fara Tabatabai.
