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.

Winston Serves as Lead Counsel to GCP Capital Partners in New Continuation Vehicle
Winston & Strawn served as legal counsel to GCP Capital Partners (GCP) in connection with the formation and closing of a single-asset continuation vehicle involving ALKEME Insurance. Led by the PE and Funds Group practices, the team advised GCP throughout the transaction which included substantial newly committed capital to fund portfolio company ALKEME’s continued growth (the single asset). The fund raise was backed by a syndicate of institutional investors where Apollo S3 served as the lead investor. The deal signals a growing trend: the strategic use of continuation vehicles to extend sponsors’ ownership in high-performing portfolio companies. This deal also reflects a broader narrative in middle-market private equity: firms that started small are now scaling rapidly, and they’re turning to sophisticated liquidity solutions to fuel that growth.
