Katrina Eash Named to Park Cities People’s 20 Under 40 List

Dallas Litigation Partner Katrina Eash has been named to Park Cities People’s 2019 “20 Under 40.” The list highlights 20 professionals across a number of industries who are making a name for themselves and a difference in their communities. 

At Winston & Strawn, Katrina is committed to her pro bono work and considers it to be among her greatest professional accomplishments. Advocating for her clients’ lives and showing their humanity makes the hard work she has put into her career worth it.

“In my professional life, it is my pro-bono work that stirs the biggest feeling of accomplishment in me. For example, in January 2018, after numerous rounds of briefing, I advocated for my client’s life in front of a Detroit immigration judge and won, preventing my client from being deported to Iraq, which would have led to him being tortured and/or killed. My team put on a full-day mini-trial, and ultimately, my client won his freedom. Winston & Strawn allowed me to be instrumental in that victory with its dedication to pro-bono work. This experience was the most rewarding experience I have ever had practicing law. I hope there are many more to come.”

When asked by Park Cities People “Where do you see your career 10 years from now?” Katrina said, “I see myself in the courtroom battling it out for my clients when the company knows that the stakes are high and only the best will do. And I see myself doing that at Winston & Strawn with my partners in the trenches with me.”
