ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR AWARD OF ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS AND INCENTIVE AWARDS

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

The Court, having reviewed Plaintiff Aimee Lambert's ("Plaintiff") Motion for Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Incentive Awards (ECF No. 30), the pleadings and other papers on file in this action, and the statements of counsel and the parties, hereby finds that Plaintiff's motion should be GRANTED.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. For purposes of this Order, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Court adopts and incorporates the definitions contained in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (Doc. 24-2, Ex. A) ("Settlement Agreement").

2. The Court finds that Plaintiff's requested fee award of $1,593,605.70 is fair and reasonable in light of the results obtained by Plaintiff's counsel in this case; the risks and complex issues involved, and the skill and high-quality work required to overcome them; the burdens borne by counsel in pursuing this litigation on a pure contingency basis; and the range of awards made in similar cases. The Court finds that the requested fee award, which represents approximately 21.8% of the Settlement Benefits, is less than the Ninth Circuit's benchmark of 25%, and comports with the applicable law and is justified by the circumstances of this case.

3. The Court has confirmed the reasonableness of Plaintiff's fee request by conducting a lodestar cross-check. The Court finds that Plaintiffs' counsel's reasonable lodestar as of the date they filed their Motion for Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Incentive Awards was $542,640.00 based on their current hourly rates. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' requested fee award represents a multiplier of 2.95 based on their counsel's current hourly rates. This multiplier is within the range of multipliers awarded in similar complex, class action cases and is well-justified here, given the novelty and difficulty of this litigation, counsel's skillful handling of the difficult factual and legal issues presented, the significant contingent risks in this case, and the quality of the result achieved.

4. The Court finds that Plaintiff's counsel incurred $6,394.30 in litigation costs and expenses as of the date they filed their Motion for Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Incentive Awards. The Court finds that these costs and expenses were reasonably incurred in the ordinary course of prosecuting this case and were necessary given the nature and scope of the case. Accordingly, the Court approves payment to counsel in the amount of $6,394.30 for reimbursement of costs and expenses.

5. Finally, the Court approves an incentive award of $5,000 to Plaintiff. This incentive award is reasonable and justified given: (1) the risks — reputational, financial, and otherwise — faced by Plaintiff in bringing this lawsuit; and (2) the work performed and the active participation in the litigation and settlement processes by the Plaintiff on behalf of the Class Members.

6. The attorneys' fees, costs, and incentive awards set forth in this Order shall be paid by Defendant Buth-Na-Bodhaige, Inc. d/b/a The Body Shop in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
