As a firm, Winston & Strawn is deeply outraged and saddened by the violent, seditious, and unlawful attack on the U.S. Capitol, and upon our most cherished institutions. Our profession is dedicated to advancing the rule of law. These indefensible actions are not only repugnant to the values we hold so dearly, they are corrosive, humiliating to our nation, and set a dangerous example for future generations of Americans.

As proud Americans, we stand together to uphold the integrity of our democracy. We join our country’s leadership in condemnation of those who encouraged and committed these crimes and are committed to working together to heal our nation from the wounds caused by these unspeakable acts.
