Meredith Stonitsch

Meredith has broad complex commercial and antitrust experience, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in actions brought under the Clayton Act and Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act.  Beyond litigation, she assists corporate clients in navigating federal pre-merger antitrust review, including Hart‑Scott‑Rodino notifications and coordinating responses to Second Requests from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Since joining the firm, Meredith has been a part of several trial teams litigating tort, contract, fiduciary duty, and constitutional claims to verdicts before courts, juries, and arbitral panels.

Meredith maintains an active pro bono practice focused on veterans’ advocacy and civil rights litigation on behalf of incarcerated individuals under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, including claims involving excessive force, conditions of confinement, and deliberate indifference.  In 2025, she received the Legal Aid Society’s Pro Bono Publico Award for her ongoing work representing a certified class of incarcerated plaintiffs in a statewide action challenging the unlawful confinement of disabled persons in New York State prisons, in violation of New York’s 2021 HALT Act.

Prior to joining Winston, Meredith externed with the SDNY Federal Pro Se Assistance Clinic at the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), assisting pro se litigants at all stages of civil litigation in the Southern District of New York.  Before law school, she worked as a project assistant in the capital markets practice of another global law firm.
