Industry
Winston’s financial crimes compliance lawyers have been providing regulatory compliance counseling and enforcement services related to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML), and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) policy for decades. We also have experience with international AML matters, including in the EU and with respect to Financial Actions Task Force (FATF) recommendations.
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.
Practice Area
Winston’s financial services litigators advise financial services companies of every size and scope on litigation, dispute resolution, and regulatory matters in local, state, and federal jurisdictions. While we are proud to have advised many clients as to how avoid formal legal proceedings, should litigation arise, we bring to bear the full strength of our nationally renowned litigation and trial practice when it does arise.

The United States and the United Kingdom Announce New Wave of Sanctions Against Russia
On Friday, February 24, 2023, the United States (U.S.) announced a new wave of sanctions and export controls restrictions against Russia aimed at (1) holding individuals and entities accountable for engaging in sanctions evasion, (2) imposing pressure on Russia’s key revenue-generating sectors including the energy, extractive, financial, defense, and technology sectors, and (3) targeting individuals, financial institutions, and proxy Russian authorities supporting Russia’s war effort. These measures reflect the ongoing efforts by the Biden administration, its allies and partners, to impose strong economic costs on Russia and disrupt its ability to wage its war of aggression. The Biden administration also announced billions of dollars in additional military aid for Ukraine. In parallel, the EU also published the previously announced tenth package of sanctions on February 25, 2023 (see Winston & Strawn’s client alert here).
