Rust Consulting Inc., Minneapolis, has announced the formation of a task force to deal with developments related to the subprime mortgage crisis. Rust said the task force is composed of experts from the company's antitrust, consumer finance, labor and employment, and securities practice areas. Jim Parks, a principal consultant with Rust, said the company's clients have been forming internal task groups to deal with the "many nuances" of subprime market litigation. This prompted Rust to form the task force "to work alongside those clients in tracking and monitoring case development in this area," he said. The company, which is part of the class action settlement administration industry, can be found online at http://www.rustconsulting.com.
