The lawsuit, spearheaded by the Rosen Law Firm, claims that Compass misrepresented its compliance with federal merger review processes. According to the complaint, the company allegedly utilized a lobbyist with ties to President Donald Trump to secure backchannel access to Department of Justice officials. This strategy was reportedly designed to circumvent standard reviews and suppress internal opposition to the deal, contradicting public statements regarding the firm's "reasonable best efforts" to obtain regulatory approval.
Investors Target Compass Merger Over Alleged Regulatory Backchannels
Former Anywhere Real Estate shareholders are mobilizing a class action lawsuit against Compass, Inc., alleging the company bypassed standard regulatory scrutiny during their January 2026 merger. Investors who received Compass stock in the exchange now have until December 8 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status in the ongoing litigation.
Investors who acquired Compass common stock through the January 9, 2026, transaction are eligible to participate in the action. While a class has not yet been certified, those seeking to represent the group must file their motions by the December deadline. Prospective class members may retain their own counsel or remain absent, though the firm emphasizes that an investor's ability to participate in any potential settlement does not strictly depend on serving as a lead plaintiff.
