BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

German automaker Volkswagen A.G. may face a £30 billion ($46.32 billion) lawsuit by shareholders following the emissions scandal, reports DigitalLook.

U.K.-based litigation finance group Bentham Europe Ltd. has hired law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges L.L.P. to prepare a class action for Volkswagen investors in Germany.

"We estimate shareholders' losses could be €40 billion ($45.4 billion) as a result of Volkswagen's failure to provide relevant disclosure to the market and gives rise to questions about fundamental dishonesty," a Quinn Emanuel official said.
