    Class Action InsiderCompetition Corner

    Winston & Strawn ist eine Strafverteidigerkanzlei. Unsere versierten Prozessvertreter sind in Strafverteidigungen besonders erfolgreich und setzen ihre umfassende Erfahrung im Gerichtssaal in jedem Fall gewinnbringend ein. Winstons langjähriges Können im Gerichtssaal verleiht unseren Klienten einen beträchtlichen Vorteil bei der Beilegung von Rechtsstreitigkeiten mit ihren Gegnern sowie Vertrauen auf ein erfolgreiches Ergebnis, sofern und wenn sie mit einem Prozess konfrontiert sind. Unsere hartnäckige Anwaltschaft und die intensive Vorbereitung auf die Vertretung einiger der größten Unternehmen und Finanzinstitute weltweit in einigen der schwierigsten Streitfälle erstreckt sich auf alle unsere Klienten, darunter Abbott Laboratories, Goldman, Sachs & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., McDonald’s, Microsoft Corporation, die NFL Players’ Association und Panasonic Corporation.

    Unser Team aus mehr als 500 Prozessvertretern besteht aus langjährigen Strafverteidigern, die gemeinsam hunderte von Fällen in den USA und im Ausland verhandelt haben, darunter auch der landesweit bekannte Strafverteidiger und Winston-Vorsitzende Dan Webb. Unsere Stärke stammt aus der engen Zusammenarbeit mit internen Rechtsbeiständen und Mitanwälten, um Teams für großflächige Rechtsstreitigkeiten zu leiten. Im Hinblick auf die Kosten und Belastungen eines Rechtsstreits unterstützen unsere Anwälte die Klienten bei der außergerichtlichen Beilegung, wo immer dies möglich ist. 2012 wurde Winston von The American Lawyer national als „Go-To Law Firm for Litigation (Empfohlene Kanzlei für Rechtsstreitigkeiten)“ ausgezeichnet, und vier Winston Partner wurden für ihre Leistungen in vier verschiedenen hochkarätigen Fällen von Am Law Litigation Daily als „Litigator of the Week (Prozessvertreter der Woche)“ ausgezeichnet - das sind mehr als in jeder anderen Anwaltskanzlei.

    Wir bieten ein breites Leistungsspektrum im Bereich Rechtsstreitigkeiten an, wir sind die führende Kanzlei auf den Gebieten Verteidigung von Wirtschaftskriminalität, Kartellrecht und Wettbewerb, geistiges Eigentum und Sportrecht.

    Unser Erfolg beruht auf einem soliden Verständnis für die Geschäfte unserer Klienten und unserer Erfahrung mit Rechtsstreitigkeiten. So entschied sich beispielsweise Yahoo! für Winston, um seinen Prozessanwalt in einem Urheberrechtsstreit, der durch die ASCAP eingeleitet wurde, und in dem es um mehrere Milliarden Dollar ging, zu ersetzen, da unsere Anwälte die Komplexität der neuen Medientechnologie verstehen. Winston Prozessvertreter gewannen ein Urteil über 1 Milliarde USD für unseren Klienten Monsanto in einem Patentstreit gegen DuPont Co., dies wurde durch das Know-how unserer Kanzlei auf dem Gebiet Patentstreitigkeiten und unsere umfassende Erfahrung im Kartellrecht ermöglicht. Und Grant Thornton entschied sich für Winston, um das Unternehmen nach der spektakulären Implosion von Refco in einer langen Reihe von Prozessen zu vertreten, da unsere Anwälte dabei geholfen haben, die Umrisse des Haftungsrechts für Buchprüfer auszuarbeiten.

    Our global team of more than 450 litigators approaches every case with strategic focus, unrelenting advocacy, and intensive preparation. Our deep experience enables us to spot outcome-determinative legal issues earlier so we can prepare compelling arguments that support our clients’ positions That is why some of the world’s largest companies and financial institutions have asked us to represent them in their most difficult litigation matters.
