Stueve Siegel Hanson, Kansas City

Norm Siegel led multidistrict litigation that resulted in the largest data breach case in history — a $1.5 billion settlement in 2019 with the credit bureau Equifax.

He’s now in the process of finishing the second-largest such case, with a $500 million settlement with cellular provider T-Mobile headed for a final approval hearing early next year.

Siegel has racked up multimillion-dollar wins on a variety of fronts, from a $44.5 million settlement for customers of collapsed financial firm Peregrine Financial Group to a $131 million settlement in a securities class-action against Sprint Nextel Corp.

In 2018, he (along with fellow POWER List honorees Pat Stueve and John Schirger) won a $34.3 million verdict for a class of universal life insurance policyholders who alleged State Farm overcharged them.

Siegel has served on the boards of the Healthcare Foundation of Greater Kansas City, the Kansas City Bar Foundation and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. He earned his law degree in 1993 from Washington University in St. Louis.
