Winston & Strawn’s Newark, New Jersey, office opened in September 2000 when the firm’s New York office merged with Whitman, Breed, Abbott & Morgan. Our Newark office is located in the heart of the city's business district at The Legal Center, home to many of New Jersey's top law firms, which is minutes from the New Jersey federal court and state courts and convenient to all means of public transportation. Winston attorneys in Newark focus their practice primarily on litigation matters, and frequently work with attorneys in all of the firm’s other U.S. offices in connection with matters that arise in New Jersey and involve firm clients located in New Jersey.
