Winston & Strawn LLP fields a deep bench of trial lawyers who are adept across all types of litigation, with a demonstrably strong track record acting as lead trial counsel, as well as MDL coordinating counsel, and on class actions and appeals. Praised for its ability to ‘collaborate seamlessly’, the practice group draws from the firm-wide strengths in M&A, finance, tax and real estate matters to undertake a broad range of disputes that arise out of these areas. Based out of Dallas and Chicago respectively, Thomas Walsh and Samantha Lerner co-chair the complex commercial litigation practice. Also in Chicago, Steve D’Amore is a key name for breach of contract, fraud, false advertising and RICO violations, whilst George Lombardi is an important name to note for patent litigation. Pre-eminent Chicago trial lawyer Dan Webb
remains in high demand for major commercial, civil, regulatory, and white-collar criminal cases. Managing partner of the Dallas office Tom Melsheimer runs a broad practice which encompasses securities and IP litigation and trade secret matters, among other areas. In Houston, experienced litigator Denise Scofield comes highly recommended for being ‘very attentive and creative in her legal strategies’.
