“I’m honored to join the ranks of some of the most passionate and dedicated lawyers across the country,” said Fegan. “This recognition isn’t just for me, but also for the courageous survivors of sexual abuse who find the strength to stand up to injustice.”

As a passionate advocate for supporting survivors of sexual assault, abuse and harassment, Fegan is leading the class action lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein. She also leads a class action against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), the NCAA Board of Governors, and John Rembao, a former track and cross-country coach, for failing to prohibit sexual abuse between coaches and student-athletes.
