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.”

Conor Reidy Discusses New Antitrust Law in Washington State with Private Funds CFO
Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy spoke with Private Funds CFO to discuss the first-of-its-kind antitrust law in Washington state and what this means for private fund managers. Under the new law, which will take effect July 27, any company required to file for Federal Trade Commission merger review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act that does sufficient business in Washington must also file for review with Washington’s attorney general. Firms will have to file in Washington if their principal place of business is in Washington, if the in-state value of the merger is at least 20 percent of the federal Hart-Scott threshold, or if at least one firm’s annual net sales in Washington reach 20 percent of the federal threshold.

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.
