On November 4, Alston & Bird secured over $70 million in damages for client Sandoz in litigation against biopharmaceutical firm United Therapeutics Corp. (UTC).

Following a three-day bench trial, U.S. District Judge Brian R. Martinotti found Sandoz lost profits of $137.2 million and entered a judgment in favor of Sandoz, awarding damages of $61.6 million, plus prejudgment interest of $8.9 million, on its breach of contract claim against UTC. The win was featured in The American Lawyer’s Litigator of the Week, Law360’s Legal Lions column, and The New Jersey Law Journal.
