CCC was incorporated in 1993 (back then as Certificate Clearing Corporation). Over the next two decades, CCC created markets in 18 different class action settlements and helped claimants recover close to $200 million, very often in cases where they would otherwise received nothing.

No case was too small or too complex. In the AT&T litigation, we created a market for $50 phone cards. In the Sotheby's and Christie's Auction House's Litigation, we created a market for discounts on art and antiques sold at auction; many of these auction house certificates were priced well into the six figures. Many of our clients lived in castles. Seriously.

Though the firm has shifted its focus to securities class action recovery, CCC remains the firm of choice in coupon and certificate settlements. For instance, we will soon be administering and creating a market for coupons in the Korean Air Antitrust Settlement.

Today, Chicago Clearing Corporation is the premier securities class action claim filing service in the United States. Since 2005, our client base has grown from one client (some guy named Jim Tharin) to over 1,100. We've helped our clients recover $120 million since 2009 alone. We have tracked close to 800 distinct settlements, and another 1,200 cases pending within the US and international court systems.

Jim's dual expertise in financial markets and class action settlements is not the only basis for CCC's success. The firm is driven by people who either share or accentuate his unique blend of experience.

There's Brian Blockovich, President and General Counsel, who joined the firm in 1995 and co-authored (with Jim) Coupons and the Class Action Fairness Act for the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics. He bridges the sales and operations department and ensures that we deliver the best financial tools in the class action recovery market place.

There's Bill Tomczak, who joined in 2008, brought his Master's in Financial Markets and fifteen years of compliance management acumen with him.

There's Frank Petersen, Senior Account Executive, who has over a quarter century of financial consulting experience at large wire house firms, including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and EF Hutton. He joined the firm in 2010, bringing yet more depth to our understanding of a busy advisor's needs.

There's Dave Grondy, our Data Operations Manager, who has another quarter century in the financial sector. Dave knows data like few in the business, having managed data integration projects since the mid-1980s for firms as diverse as the New York Futures Exchanges and Dow Jones & Co.

And that's just a few players on the CCC bench. When you outsource securities class action claim filing to CCC, you get access to friendly, knowledgeable experts like Jim, Dave, Frank, and Brian. Every day, they are just a phone call away. And every day their unique expertise guarantees two things: first, that we will maximize your settlement recovery. Second, that we will free you up to focus on you core competencies, not on claim filing.
