Justin Alberto of Cole Schotz PC has been named to an oversight board responsible for implementing a public repository of documents related to Purdue Pharma and the national opioid epidemic.

The 14-member board will oversee the creation of a permanent repository containing approximately 100 million pages of records related to Purdue’s marketing and sale of OxyContin, including documents that were not previously available to the public. The repository was established as part of Purdue’s confirmed Chapter 11 plan and the broader settlement of its bankruptcy case.

Alberto was appointed by the unsecured creditors committee. Cole Schotz served as conflicts and efficiency counsel to the committee in Purdue’s Chapter 11 proceedings.

The board brings together representatives selected by several claimant and creditor groups and will be responsible for making the extensive collection of Purdue records available for public access.
