Winston represents a class of professional swimmers alleging World Aquatics (WA) violated antitrust laws by blocking their participation in the competing International Swimming League. After WA won summary judgment, Winston successfully appealed, arguing the court applied improper antitrust standards and wrongly denied certification of a damages class. In September 2024, the Ninth Circuit reversed both rulings, reviving all claims and issuing a landmark ruling on the possible application of the per se rule or quick look review to sports-associations rules. Am Law awarded Winston “Litigator of the Week” Runner-Up recognition for the win. In November 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied rehearing. In April 2025, the district court certified a damages class.

Winston & Strawn partner Carl Fornaris was quoted in ThinkAdvisor discussing the U.S. Treasury Department’s proposal to delay the implementation of an anti-money laundering rule for investment advisors until January 1, 2028. The proposed extension is meant to afford it “an opportunity to reduce any unnecessary or duplicative regulatory burden and ensure the IA AML Rule strikes an appropriate balance between cost and benefit.”

What Is Children’s Privacy Law?
An important children’s privacy law in the U.S. is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA requires the Federal Trade Commission to issue and enforce regulations concerning the online privacy of those under age 13. The Commission’s first COPPA Rule took effect in 2000, and an amended Rule took effect in 2013. The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control over personal information collected from their children online. Its Rule applies to commercial websites, online services, and mobile apps that collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information. The Act applies to websites designed for children’s use but can also apply to general audience sites. Additionally, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that prevents the sharing of personal student data and educational records with third parties without parental consent. However, the law does allow schools to share student information with some types of educational vendors and consultants.
