Josephs represents Penske Media Corporation – owner of iconic media brands including Variety, Rolling Stone, Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter – and educational publisher Chegg in antitrust lawsuits asserting that Google has unlawfully maintained and exploited its monopoly in search to appropriate publisher content for its AI products.
Josephs also serves as Interim Co-Lead Class Counsel in the In re MultiPlan Health Insurance Provider Litigation MDL (N.D. Ill.), a significant antitrust class action on behalf of healthcare providers alleging that major health insurers colluded with pricing intermediary MultiPlan to unlawfully suppress payments for out-of-network healthcare services. Josephs and her team defeated defendants’ motion to dismiss in 2025, and the case is now in discovery.
In recent years, Josephs has helped secure over $400 million in recoveries for her clients, including millions in settlements for universal life insurance policyholders in breach-of-contract class actions against some of the nation’s leading insurers, such as AXA and North American. Josephs is currently litigating putative class actions against other insurers as well, including John Hancock, Midland, Wilton Re, Talcott, and Sun Life.
