Industry
Winston’s broad-based, fully integrated Energy Practice is among the most experienced in the current market, and we advise enterprises with interests in power generation from both renewable and conventional sources; transmission, including generation interconnection and transmission access; and storage projects on a full panoply of legal and business needs. We have handled power transactions since the infusion of independent power producers (IPPs) into the sector in the 1970s, which helped establish our reputation as one of the leading firms for power sector transactions, including electric generation, transmission, distribution, and fuel supply. We also handle various types of energy-related disputes before federal and state courts, arbitral panels on the domestic and international levels, and before regulatory authorities. Collectively, our lawyers deliver exceptional value due to the team’s depth of experience, the efficiency that comes with such experience, and our institutional knowledge of our clients’ businesses.

Erin Weber Discusses Two Employee Benefits Cases to Watch in 2024 with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Erin Weber spoke with Law360 about two employee benefits cases that attorneys should watch in 2024. In Vellali v. Yale University, Yale employees are appealing a jury ruling that found the school breached its ERISA fiduciary duty by allowing excessively high 401(k) recordkeeping and administrative fees, but concluded the violations didn’t result in damages to the class. The employees are arguing that the jury didn't get adequate guidance on how to assess loss and damages. Erin stated that she is closely watching the Yale appeal because it’s been rare for these types of ERISA excessive fee suits to reach the jury trial stage. “We just don’t see these ERISA cases going the full distance and going in front of the jury,” Erin said, adding that the Yale case illustrates how “it’s hard for a jury to deal with all of these issues.”
