Senegal v. JPMorgan Chase Settlement

Welcome to the Information Website for the Senegal, et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Settlement.

This website contains important information regarding the race discrimination class action settlement in Senegal, et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Settlement provides a Settlement Fund of $19.5 million and a Diversity and Reserve Fund of $4.5 million for a class of African American and/or Black Financial Advisors, Financial Advisor Associates, Senior Financial Advisors, and Private Client Advisors (collectively, “Advisors”) who were employed at Chase at any time from April 13, 2013 through September 12, 2018 to resolve alleged claims of race discrimination and retaliation. The Settlement also provides programmatic relief to increase opportunities for current Advisors who are African American and/or Black.

The Court granted final approval of the Settlement on December 20, 2018 and authorized the Notice and this website to inform Class Members of their rights and options under the Settlement. If you would like to view the Notice of Final Approval, click here.

After the Class Notice was issued on January 11, 2019, an appeal was filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the case and Settlement have been stayed until this appeal is resolved. As a result, no award payments can be made until after the appeal has been finally resolved. If you would like to view the Appeal Notice, click here

Oral argument for this appeal was heard on September 6, 2019.

UPDATE: On September 26, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the appeal. We will provide additional information shortly.
