For nearly 160 years, Winston & Strawn has handled many significant, high-profile matters for its clients – from patent litigation to cross-border mergers, and from energy transactions to employment disputes. Founded in 1853 by Frederick H Winston, the firm has grown through a series of mergers, office openings and lateral hires that have resulted in a global law firm with more than 900 attorneys across the United States, Europe and Asia. Winston & Strawn’s 16 offices are located in major business centres around the world, including Beijing, Brussels, Charlotte, Chicago, Geneva, Hong Kong, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Moscow, New York, Newark, Paris, San Francisco, Shanghai and Washington, DC.

Our clients range from multinational corporations to e-commerce start-ups. Our dedication and emphasis on client service has helped us form longterm relationships with leading companies in various industries, including Abbott Laboratories, AOL, Caterpillar, Cisco Systems, Dell, Discover Financial Services, Hyundai Motor Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, LG Electronics, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Motorola Mobility, Philip Morris USA, State Farm, Teva North America, Wells Fargo & Company, and Yahoo!.

A substantial portion of the firm’s practice focuses on litigation and corporate matters. The strength of our firm’s litigation practice lies in our ability to take on some of the most difficult cases being litigated around the world for high-profile clients and work effectively with in-house and co-counsel to create the teams required to manage large-scale litigation. The firm’s corporate department serves corporations and financial institutions in virtually all types of corporate and financial matters.

Winston & Strawn has more than 500 litigators around the world. The areas of concentration include: antitrust; appellate and critical motions; bankruptcy; class actions; construction; international arbitration; contractual disputes; corporate internal investigations; environmental/toxic tort; government contracts; insurance coverage; intellectual property; labour, employment, and ERISA; lender liability; media; product liability; professional liability; securities, commodities, and derivative/regulatory defence; tax controversy; trusts and estates; unfair competition, false advertising, trade regulation; and white-collar criminal defence.

We understand our litigation clients have different legal and business objectives — to solve a problem, to right a wrong, to protect a product or reputation, to limit financial exposure. We work closely with clients to develop a strategy that meets their business needs.Mindful of the costs and burdens of litigation, our lawyers attempt to assist clients in resolving disputes short of litigation, if possible. However, we do have exceptional trial experience and are prepared to proceed to trial when it is the best course of action to meet client objectives.
