Attorneys' fees are included in the success fee (maximum 25%) that the foundation is entitled to in case compensation is obtained.

The Emission Claim Foundation is funded by Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, a US litigation law firm experienced in suing companies for their wrongful acts. Hagens Berman is funding the proceedings and in return will receive up to 25% of the damages realised by the foundation. Any unclaimed amounts will be used in accordance with the foundation's statutory objectives.

Our board members receive a basic monthly allowance, as well as a compensation of €250 per hour for their services. They are also reimbursed for reasonably incurred travel, accommodation and meal expenses. With the exception of Steve Berman, who sits on the Board of Trustees on behalf of the funder, none of our board members has an interest that conflicts with that of the foundation or could compromise their independence. Mr Berman has waived the fees due to other board members.
