"The real distinguishing feature of Winston & Strawn is perspective."

- Chambers USA, 2011

Our cross-disciplinary approach to transactional and project-specific matters for our financial services clients encompasses regulatory compliance counseling, tax advice, dispute resolution, and representation before applicable regulatory authorities. By tapping into our firmwide resources in litigation, real estate, employment law, employee benefits, tax, intellectual property, and government relations, Winston is able to provide comprehensive services to our financial services clients beyond the transactional and regulatory work that is typical of most banking and securities practices.
