Type and Scope of services to be performed:
Amendment for term extension for outside counsel Keller Rohrback, LLP on the opioid multi-district litigation. The MDL has produced a number of noteworthy settlements from opioid manufacturers and distributors. However, the MDL continues against a number of opioid defendants, including against several national pharmacy defendants. Keller Rohrback continues to represent Denver and other Colorado cities and counties in the MDL.
