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. USSF, the case that led to a historic equal pay settlement for the players on the Women’s National Team. Our work is transforming this global, multibillion-dollar industry.

Winston has built a reputation as a trial lawyers’ firm, featuring seasoned litigators who leverage extensive courtroom experience to meet our clients’ business and legal objectives. Our long history of taking cases to trial—and winning—provides our clients with tremendous settlement leverage with their adversaries, as well as a substantial likelihood of a favorable resolution if, and when, they go to trial.

Our New York office’s welcoming and collaborative atmosphere can be seen through numerous office-wide events, including volunteer opportunities, gatherings to connect over food and drinks, wellness event pop-ups, and annual entry in the NYC Lawyers Basketball League. Creating a connected and supportive setting for attorneys and staff fosters camaraderie and encourages all of us to work harder for one another and our clients.
