Welcome to another edition of our Litigation Leaders series, featuring the litigation practice leaders at some of the biggest and most innovative law firms in the country. 

Meet Daniel Weiner, the chair of the litigation department at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, who is based in New York. We last checked in with Weiner back in 2021 after he and his team fended off claims against the former vice-chair of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, stemming from the collapse of cryptocurrency mining companies founded by a protégé who pleaded guilty to fraud in 2017. The trial marked the first time a federal jury weighed in on the question of whether particular cryptocurrency assets were securities.
