J&J appoints Aviva Wein as Global VP of Litigation
Johnson & Johnson is making a significant move in its legal leadership as it appoints Aviva Wein as the new Global Vice President of Litigation. This transition signals a strategic refocus for the company as it navigates the complexities of its ongoing legal landscape.
Wein steps into this crucial role, succeeding Erik Haas, who will depart at the end of August after nearly six years of service to the company. This leadership shift comes at a pivotal moment for J&J, marking a transition in how the organization manages its vast legal portfolio.
Wein brings a deep institutional knowledge to the table, having spent the majority of her extensive 20-year legal career at J&J. Her appointment places her in a position to lead the company’s litigation organization during a time when the focus is shifting toward future legal strategy and managing complex claims.
Meanwhile, Erik Haas will continue to be an integral part of the legal team. He will remain as outside counsel, continuing to provide expert advice to J&J on ongoing matters, including the highly publicized talc litigation.
This continuity is especially important as the company implements its proposed settlement and manages the remaining claims related to the talc litigation. The leadership transition ensures that the legal strategy maintains coherence and momentum as J&J moves beyond more than a decade of this complex legal history.
