Winston & Strawn

Executive Summary

Barr Labs' Washington counsel Lawrence Fox resigns from D.C. office of Winston & Strawn at the firm's request. An ongoing investigation indicates that Fox diverted approximately $ 1 mil. from the firm for his own use, Winston & Strawn said. All misuse of funds discovered so far relates to the firm's money and not to any client's, the law firm added. Fox had been an outspoken critic of FDA's handling of Barr's applications. Winston & Strawn said it is currently in discussions with Barr over whether it will continue to represent the generic firm.
