Wiggin and Dana Recognized by Law360 as a Regional Powerhouse
Wiggin and Dana is honored to be named as a Regional Powerhouse for Connecticut by Law360 for 2025, thanks to several major legal victories. These include:
- Defending a record-breaking $582 million fraud judgmentย inย Marafi v. El Achchabi, upheld on appealโthe largest in Connecticut history.
- Winning a landmark remote education caseย for Yale University, where the firm secured a summary judgment and appellate affirmation in a COVID-19 tuition refund suit.
- Protecting the reputation of Mystic Seaport Museumย in a copyright and contract dispute over historic yacht blueprints, resolved largely in the museumโs favor.
“I think it is a firm that has always focused on excellence,” Managing Partner Tim Diemand said. “Attracting the best, promoting the best, top to bottom, in all aspects of the firm. Providing the best services to clients. And we’ve kind of grown from that from our humble beginnings to where we are now.”
Tim highlighted the firmโs deep Connecticut roots and its reputation for excellence in litigation, corporate law, and public service. He also highlighted the firm’s extensive pro bono support through Wiggin Opportunity Initiative, aiming to deliver $10 million in free legal services to underserved small businesses by 2030.
