Industry
Insurance plays an essential role in risk mitigation for financial services companies. As risks evolve, questions often arise concerning the scope of insurance coverage and the interpretation and application of policy provisions. Winston’s insurance lawyers provide companies with best-in-class advice, corporate and transactional counsel, and, if need be, litigation defense in high-stakes coverage disputes and class actions. We have achieved excellent outcomes for our clients in matters involving a wide variety of insurance policies and claims, including cybersecurity, travel, long-term care, and annuities, among others. Moreover, we have experience in emerging issues and industries, such as blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, both of which present insurers with a unique and complicated set of risks and opportunities.

Pursuant to the NFL–NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, Winston successfully represented NFLPA in a widely followed arbitration challenging the unprecedented discipline recommended by the NFL for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson—an indefinite suspension of no less than a full NFL season of 17 games. After a week-long evidentiary hearing, Judge Sue Robinson rejected the NFL’s proposed discipline and imposed a six-game suspension, which, as Winston argued, was the result required to achieve fair and consistent treatment. The NFL appealed. Ultimately, a settlement was reached for an 11-game suspension— far less than the NFL’s proposed discipline.
