American Lawyer recently announced that Jim Hurst, chair of Winston & Strawn's intellectual property department, is a finalist for the "Litigator of the Year" contest, which singled out leading litigators who achieved “extraordinary” results for their clients.

The American Lawyer nomination for Mr. Hurst discussed his phenomenal trial skills, noting that “taking eight cases to trial in 18 months is remarkable. Winning all eight cases is astounding.”

Mr. Hurst routinely serves as the lead trial attorney for major companies in their highest-stakes cases, including patents, age discrimination claims, antitrust, class action, and employment case.
