Law360, San Francisco (May 13, 2011, 12:21 PM ET) -- AT&T Wireless Services Inc. and New Cingular Wireless Headquarters LLC buried the hatchet Thursday with Marsh & McClennan Cos. Inc. in a long-running multidistrict litigation in New Jersey accusing scores of companies of engaging in bid-rigging to inflate policyholders' premiums.
The suit is part of litigation that dates back to October 2004, when then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued former Marsh executives for allegedly soliciting fixed bids from insurance companies and receiving improper payments for directing customers to those companies.
