Quantcast

Virginia Lawyers Weekly is pleased to present the “Million Dollar Settlements of 2010,” our annual compilation of big settlements from across the commonwealth. As in past years, our criteria for the list are simple:

1. The settlement must be for at least $1 million.

2. The settlement was reached in calendar year 2010.

3. The settlement involved a dispute with a strong Virginia component.

The 2010 survey features 37 settlements, one more than last year’s report and two fewer than the 2008 list.
