For decades, Winston has represented a broad array of clients in the insurance industry, including some of the world’s largest and best-known insurers.

Accordingly, Winston’s lawyers are among the most sought-after in the industry—not only by companies currently facing high-stakes litigations and investigations, but by those looking to take preventive action now in order to mitigate and manage their risk in the future.
Industry
Winston has one of the world’s premier sports law practices. Our work has included some of the most famous legal matters in sports history—including Alston v. NCAA, the case that culminated in a 9–0 Supreme Court victory for the college players against the NCAA; the US$2.15B Los Angeles Dodgers acquisition; McNeil v. the NFL, the landmark antitrust jury trial that led to the establishment of free agency in the NFL; the multi-billion-dollar construction and permanent financings for SoFi Stadium; and Morgan v.

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.

Curtailing the Authority of the CFPB Continues
Since taking office, the Trump administration has significantly curtailed the CFPB’s rulemaking and enforcement activity. Recently, Congress and federal courts have been grappling with what that means for CFPB employees and the rules the CFPB has enacted and enforces. On April 9, 2025, the United States House of Representatives voted to pass a joint resolution disapproving a CFPB rule that would make certain large payment companies subject to Regulations E and Z. The same day, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments to resolve a TRO that would maintain the existence of the CFPB as it stood before the administration change. What does this mean for you and your clients?
