Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP has united with a team of leading plaintiffs' law firms to achieve a $7.25 billion settlement class-action against Monsanto, resolving thousands of existing and future claims involving Roundup exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The settlement, filed on February 17, 2026, in the City of St. Louis Circuit Court, establishes a structured compensation framework for individuals diagnosed with NHL following exposure to Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicide.
The team includes Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel, Motley Rice, Seeger Weiss, and the Holland Law Firm. Over the past several years, juries nationwide have returned significant verdicts linking Roundup to NHL, while tens of thousands of claims remain pending in state and federal courts. This settlement aims to provide a comprehensive resolution for the vast majority of these claims.
"After years of pressing cases against Monsanto and in light of the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted an appeal to review the validity of these Roundup claims, we are pleased to achieve a resolution that we believe is acceptable based on the current circumstances," said John Eddie Williams, Jr., Founding and Managing Partner of Williams Hart & Boundas, LLP.
Under the proposed settlement, Monsanto will fund up to $7.25 billion to compensate a class that includes virtually all existing and certain future Roundup cancer claims. Eligible class members will have the right to opt out and pursue their claims individually if they choose. The agreement is designed to provide a structured and comprehensive resolution framework for individuals diagnosed with NHL following exposure to the herbicide.

This settlement is significant because it addresses a massive public health litigation involving one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. The outcome could set a precedent for how similar mass tort claims are resolved in the future. The Supreme Court's upcoming review of Roundup claims adds an additional layer of importance, as the settlement provides certainty for claimants while the legal landscape evolves.
