In Law360, Joe Winebrenner, Andrew Jackson and Christine Kain of Faegre Baker Daniels joined Elizabeth Curtin, Morgan Branch and Heidi Levine of Sidley Austin to co-author an article on national coordinating counsel’s four key responsibilities in mass tort litigation: building the virtual law team, leadership, providing subject matter expertise, and ensuring consistency and efficiency.
