Since opening in 2011, Winston & Strawn’s Houston office has grown to nearly 60 lawyers and is home to many long-standing leaders of the Houston legal and business communities. Our Houston office hosts a comprehensive transactional team specializing in private equity, capital markets, and public companies, as well as extensive commercial litigation and intellectual property practices—with nearly all Houston IP attorneys possessing technical degrees. We are also home to a leading energy and infrastructure group that focuses on oil and gas projects and infrastructure litigation, and an international arbitration practice. Our robust offerings demonstrate our commitment to the continued growth of the city’s global, economic, and cultural footprint.

Our Houston office is committed to the community and offers many opportunities for both attorneys and staff to contribute their time and services to a variety of local organizations. Attorneys support the firm’s strong commitment to pro bono with 3,000+ hours devoted to cases involving immigration and asylum matters, human rights abuses, and social justice in 2024. In fact, our Houston received the prestigious Harris County Bench Bar Pro Bono Award from the Houston Bar Foundation in 2024 for providing outstanding pro bono service within our local community.

We are also dedicated to expanding access to opportunity and building a deep pipeline of legal talent of individuals from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. The vibrant composition of Winston & Strawn’s Houston office mirrors and embraces the rich tapestry of diversity found within the city of Houston.

SUMMER ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

The Houston office provides hands-on training opportunities for Summer Associates through day-in-the-life presentations, workshops on effectively arguing a motion with our Litigation Department, and skill-building workshops with our Corporate Department attorneys. They also have the opportunity to network with attorneys across all practice groups during weekly dive lunches. The Houston office keeps things lively with fun social events, which have included a trip to the ballpark to cheer on the Houston Astros, an evening of sushi-rolling with award-winning chefs at Uchi, and a friendly curling competition where Houston office attorneys face off on the ice. It’s the perfect balance of learning, networking, and unforgettable experiences!

The partners I work with invest their time in me to not only make sure I understand the substance of why we do things a certain way, but also go out of their way to know me as a person.

Franklin Shen, Houston Associate
