January 9, 2025

The AmLaw Litigation Daily

The AmLaw Litigation Daily named Finnegan and Latham & Watkins as Litigators of the Week for the team's $116M victory on behalf of client Sarepta Therapeutics.

The AmLaw Litigation Daily interview included Finnegan partner Bill Raich, who co-led the trial team, to discuss the story behind the case and how they helped Sarepta secure this substantial verdict.
