Litigation Leaders: Winston & Strawn’s Steve D’Amore Says the Firm Always Keeps an “Eye on Succession”

Winston & Strawn’s Litigation Co-Chair Steve D’Amore was recently featured in The Am Law Litigation Daily’s “Litigation Leaders” Q&A series, which highlights leaders in the largest law firms in the country.

In the feature, Steve discusses Winston’s deep trial bench and its longstanding reputation of winning trials for some of the world’s most consequential companies. 

“In today’s legal environment, clients choose Winston for litigation because they know our team is ready and able to go to trial and win,” Steve says. “Our trial experience—and trial mindset—give us a special perspective that guides every aspect of a case, from investigation, to discovery, to resolution. It provides leverage to resolve matters favorably before trial, as well.”

Steve goes on to discuss the firm’s commitment to building courtroom skills at every level from junior associates to partners and the various training programs that the firm offers.

When asked about priorities for the coming year, Steve notes that Winston’s strategic objectives are rooted in three goals: grow, connect, and succeed. The firm has always maintained a forward-looking mindset, always keeping our eye on succession.

“Winston’s legacy was built by prior generations of trial lawyers and firm leaders, and we are committed to developing our next generation of trial lawyers and client and firm leaders,” Steve says.
