Wyatt Larkin

Wyatt Larkin's commitment to helping people through the civil justice system originates from his upbringing in a plaintiff's trial law practice where his father was a solo attorney and his mother served as paralegal. This foundation inspired his pursuit of trial law. Recently, Larkin served as co-counsel in litigation yielding a $9 million settlement with a rideshare company and a hotel on allegations they enabled a man to rape a minor. The victim was an 11-year-old girl who met the perpetrator online; the rideshare subsequently implemented stricter measures preventing unaccompanied minors' transportation. Larkin currently handles multiple lawsuits against Panera regarding injuries from their Charged Lemonade energy drink, generating substantial media attention that led to the product's removal from menus. Before law school, Larkin worked on Capitol Hill as an aide to then-Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, progressing from intern to digital director, where he pioneered early online congressional communications. He later served as digital director and speechwriter for Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, preparing speeches, managing policy writing teams, and drafting opinion pieces published in major outlets including The Washington Post and USA Today while managing social media strategy. At UC Berkeley Law, Larkin won the Prosser Prize in Written and Oral Advocacy and American Jurisprudence Awards in Property and Torts. He completed his first summer as research assistant to Professor Bertrall Ross with the Presidential Commission on Supreme Court Reform. Transferring to Harvard Law School, he graduated in the top 10% and received Dean's Scholar Prizes in First Amendment, Digital Governance, Legal Profession, and Drug Product Liability Litigation. He served as technology editor for the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology, secretary of the Harvard Plaintiffs' Law Association, and participated in HLS Lambda and the American Constitution Society. As an advanced clinical student with the Harvard Cyberlaw Clinic at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, he worked on impact litigation projects for a major national news outlet and civil rights organization, and contributed to an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit by an LGBTQ rights organization. Larkin clerked at Kline & Specter before joining as an associate.
