Howrey Vice Chairman Mark Wegener, 59, died of cancer last Friday, June 6th.
In addition to holding the vice chairman post, the Washington-based partner served as co-chairman of the firm’s global litigation practice and as a member of Howrey’s executive committee. Wegener’s high stakes litigation practice focused on intellectual property, securities, antitrust, and international matters, as well as commercial disputes and class actions.
A firm press release included a statement that Howrey’s chairman, Robert Ruyak, gave when announcing Wegener’s death to the firm: “Mark was a trial lawyer’s trial lawyer — a mentor, friend, advisor and teacher to many of us — who showed us by example the importance of teamwork, friendship and generosity of spirit. We will miss him terribly.”

Several of Wegener’s co-workers, friends, and other associates have shared memories of him here.
