U.S. v. Microsoft
Microsoft Corporation
Winston & Strawn attorneys were retained by Microsoft Corporation as co-lead counsel in connection with a series of highly publicized antitrust claims brought by various federal and state governmental entities. We defended the company in connection with the claims being pursued by the nine non-settling states. Our attorneys gave the opening statement for Microsoft, put CEO Bill Gates on the witness stand, and cross-examined some of the states' witnesses before Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who ruled in Microsoft's favor, thereby upholding the settlement reached by Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Justice.
