Cy pres donation presented to Legal Aid Society of San Diego
On May 16, Brad N. Baker, a partner at Baker, Burton & Lundy in Hermosa Beach, presented a donation of $93,940 from the antitrust national gas settlement to the Legal Aid Society of San Diego. The case began in 1999, when Denver-based energy attorney Lance Astrella found evidence of a secret meeting between high-level officers from competing gas pipeline companies to take advantage of electricity deregulation in California. He brought the evidence to Baker, Burton & Lundy and together they recruited a team of attorneys and experts to investigate. Completing what Baker called "a 14-year-journey," the donation is the final act in the largest energy case in the history of California, resulting in settlements and benefits of more than $4 billion to the state's consumers and businesses. — Pat Broderick
