During 2023, Winston & Strawn LLP’s appellate and critical motions practice argued a strong concentration of cases before the Second, Seventh and Federal Circuits. Among its diverse docket of work, the team secured a significant volume of antitrust-related appeals. Most notably, Chicago-based department head Linda Coberly successfully represented Chicago Parking Meters (CPM) in the Seventh Circuit in a case brought by two Chicago residents challenging the $1.1bn concession agreement between CPM and the City of Chicago. Andrew Tauber and patent specialist Brian Ferguson are also recommended—both sit in Washington DC.
