A putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleges that DaVita and its former chief executive officer violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act through agreements not to solicit senior-level employees. On June 10, 2026, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, although the Company continues to dispute the allegations and intends to defend the case. The related federal criminal indictment was resolved in April 2022 with a jury acquittal of both DaVita and its former chief executive officer.
