Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation
With attorneys based in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C., Winston’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation (EBEC) team represents a broad range of plan sponsors and offers clients not just deal support but the full suite of employee benefit services. These include public company reporting and executive compensation, employee benefits in mergers and acquisitions, qualified retirement plans and Title I investment advice, health and welfare benefit plans, employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), and international human resources matters. And driven by a volatile labor market, we are partnering with clients to innovate plan structure and design, including cutting-edge services such as private exchange medical benefits, employee benefits in captive insurance, and fiduciary governance best practices. With decades of experience, our EBEC team maintains strong brand recognition, with clients describing our attorneys as “superb,” “very client-friendly,” “extremely responsive and able to bring forth the right resources,” and “having an “incredible breadth of knowledge.”

Industry
Winston is well regarded for deep and broad experience advising clients in the development, construction, financing and refinancing, acquisition, and operation of major infrastructure assets, including several award-winning deals and public-private-partnership (PPPs or P3s) projects in North America, Latin America, and Europe. Recognized for our ability to “take complex issues and boil them down to pragmatic solutions” (Chambers USA 2023), our team represents a diverse mix of participants and stakeholders in a broad range of investments and non-recourse/limited recourse financings, and we have experience working on many of the most complex projects, within aggressive time frames, while employing inventive solutions. Likewise, our lawyers help to identify and quantify roadblocks and risks at an early stage, so that we can help our clients—which include developers and sponsors, a full range of lenders and investors, project owners and operators, governments and their agencies, and other project counterparties—evaluate and, to the extent possible, mitigate or eliminate risk.

Law Glossary
What Is a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)?
A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a legal document issued by a judge before trial that forces or prevents an action for a specified time frame. During court cases that involve trademark infringement or the use of a trade secret, a TRO can halt patent, copyright, or trademark infringement in the short term. It can offer relief in various situations, such as to prevent the sharing of a business secret or an unfair competition practice, until a court hearing on a preliminary injunction can be held. A TRO petition is an emergency request for a state or federal court to take immediate action based on submitted evidence.
