  On December 30, 2008, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney attorneys Steven E. Bizar, Howard D. Scher, Thomas P. Manning and Landon Y. Jones obtained a significant victory for clients Arkema Inc. and Arkema France, as well as all antitrust defendants and class action defendants generally.

  Also on December 31, 2008, Law360 published an article, titled "3rd Circ. Strikes Class Certification In Peroxide Suit," in which Buchanan attorney Steven Bizar was extensively quoted.
  
  "[The decision] levels the playing field for plaintiffs and defendants on class action certification. It requires plaintiffs to make a showing for class certification," said Bizar. "It doesn't set an impossible wall, but they're not going to get carte blanche anymore."
  
  Bizar went on to explain that "The precedent-setting decision falls in line with other circuit court positions on class certification and will affect all class actions based on federal statutes, including securities, employment benefits and racketeering laws."
  
  On January 2, 2009, in a law update article on Bloomberg.com, the case was once again noted. In the article, Bizar explained that four other hydrogen-peroxide makers — Akzo Nobel NV, Evonik Industries AG, Solvay SA, and Kemira Oyj — had separately settled with plaintiffs' lawyers for a total of $87 million.
  
  Bizar was also quoted in the January 5, 2008, edition of Global Competition Review in an article titled, "Appeals court remands peroxide class action."
