Mr. Andrew P. Arnold: Attorney with Motley Rice LLC

Biography

Andrew Arnold represents individuals, governments, and institutional investors harmed by corporate fraud and other wrongdoing in complex litigation, including multidistrict litigation and class actions. His practice spans several areas, including consumer protection, securities fraud, and technology and media.

Since 2017, Andrew has represented state and local governments in litigation against pharmaceutical companies alleged to have contributed to the creation of a national opioid crisis through deceptive marketing and over-distribution of highly addictive opioid drugs. In numerous cases, he has been the primary liaison to expert witnesses responsible for formulating and costing plans to ameliorate the effects of the crisis. He has served on several trial teams that collectively have recovered more than $1 billion.

In the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Fraud class action, Andrew joined Motley Rice co-founder Joe Rice in settlement negotiations on behalf of consumers whose vehicles were allegedly designed to bypass environmental regulations. The resulting $15 billion* settlement for 2.0-liter vehicles is the largest consumer auto-related consumer class action settlement in U.S. history. Andrew was also a part of the Motley Rice team that negotiated a mechanism for major U.S. auto manufacturers to compensate individuals injured or killed by their vehicles’ exploding Takata airbags.

Andrew is a member of Motley Rice’s securities fraud practice group. He oversees the firm’s Market Monitor portfolio monitoring service offered to public pension funds, unions, and other institutional investors. Market Monitor helps trustees fulfill their fiduciary duties by cross-referencing newly filed securities actions, ongoing litigation, and recent settlements with each client’s portfolio to identify opportunities to recover funds lost to fraud.

Prior to joining Motley Rice, Andrew practiced commercial litigation and investor-state dispute settlement in the Washington, D.C. office of a large international law firm. Before entering the legal field, he worked as a software developer for eight years, primarily in the health care industry.
