Kent Recovery Services

What Kent Recovery Services does

Kent Recovery Services (KRS) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Harrison, New York, that specializes in settlement fund recovery for businesses participating as class members in class action litigation, with a particular emphasis on antitrust and anti-competitive actions. The firm identifies eligible cases, files claims with court-appointed claims administrators, and processes settlements on behalf of clients ranging from Fortune 100 corporations (including BP, Procter & Gamble, Baxter Healthcare, Novartis, and News Corp) to mid-sized companies and small entities. Its active caseload spans multiple industries including agriculture (beef, pork, broiler chicken, turkey), payment cards, industrial chemicals (isocyanates, liquid alum), agricultural inputs (Syngenta corn seed), healthcare supplies (dental, syringes and catheters), and product liability matters (Navistar, Intel).

The firm operates on a pure contingency-fee model — there is no upfront cost to clients, and KRS is compensated only when it successfully recovers settlement funds — with engagement executed via DocuSign agreements following website-driven consultations. Co-founders Leonard E. Veneziano, David J. Fair, and Joseph A. Lodi collectively brought decades of class action recovery experience from their prior roles at Class Action Refund, LLC, where they helped build the claims-recovery category over roughly 15 years. The team of approximately 9 named professionals includes Managing Directors, Deputy and Associate General Counsel, an SVP of Business Development, a Senior Account Executive, a Lead Processor, and a Senior Data Analyst.

KRS has participated in some of the largest U.S. antitrust recoveries on record, including the $5.54 billion Payment Card Interchange Fee Settlement, the $1.2 billion Air Cargo Services Antitrust Case (with $110 million+ recovered for Chinese entities), the $292.8 million Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation, and the $237.25 million combined Pork Antitrust Litigation. The firm maintains case-specific landing pages, an email newsletter, and direct consultation forms as its primary marketing channels, and distributes exclusively through direct B2B sales engagement with no intermediaries. The business has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and is governed entirely by its three co-founders.
