Launched in 2013, Winston & Strawn’s Silicon Valley office is home to nationally recognized attorneys that draw clients from Fortune 500 companies, startups, and everything in between. Led by Kelly Hunsaker—who has deep roots in Silicon Valley spanning nearly three decades—the office draws from the firm’s deep bench strength and global network of resources to serve clients in a variety of industries, including the semiconductor, computer hardware and software, telecommunications, life sciences, and pharmaceutical sectors. The office’s intellectual property attorneys have litigated extensively in all the top national patent litigation venues, as well as before the International Trade Commission and the Patent Trial and Appeals Board of the USPTO.

Attorneys in our Silicon Valley office are uniquely positioned to represent clients within the dynamic life sciences, pharmaceutical, and technology industries due to their strong technological acumen and background in STEM fields. This unique blend of legal and technical know-how allows them to navigate complex legal challenges with a profound understanding of the industries they serve and offer strategic, forward-thinking solutions. Innovation is embedded into the Silicon Valley culture, as they not only stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and industry trends but are also proactive in their efforts to create more equitable communities. The Silicon Valley office regularly participates in initiatives such as the Bar Association’s Food From The Bar campaign and Cycle for Survival and is dedicated to attracting and nurturing legal talent from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

SUMMER ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

Winston’s Bay Area offices provide Summer Associates with formal hands-on training through attorney-led workshops that cover legal writing and arguing a motion. In addition, Summer Associates gain valuable insights into the firm’s Litigation Practice through practice group-sponsored lunches. Beyond professional development, the Bay Area offices host a variety of social events throughout the summer. Past activities have included a Giants game at Oracle Park, a day trip to Napa, a walking food tour, and go-karting. It’s the perfect balance of learning, networking, and unforgettable experiences!

In Winston's Silicon Valley office, we not only show up for work but also for each other. Collaboration is second nature. Whether we’re tackling complex matters or celebrating small wins, we do it together. Everyone here is deeply invested in each other’s growth, and that shared commitment creates something truly special: a place to thrive.
