A Team Co-led by Winston & Strawn Negotiates a Landmark Antitrust Class Action Settlement with the NCAA and Its Power 5 Conferences

Secured, with co-counsel, final approval of an historic settlement of over US$2.75B in back-damages for current and former college-athletes and a new revenue-sharing model allowing schools to share future earnings with athletes. This decade-long effort across four different lawsuits redefines the economics of college sports, affirming athlete rights and fair compensation. Following a 9-0 Supreme Court victory in Alston v. NCAA, the team filed three antitrust class actions, resulting in a groundbreaking settlement that creates a revenue-sharing system projected to generate at least US$20B in new, previously prohibited payments and benefits to Division I college athletes over the next decade. The settlement was recognized in Am Law‘s Litigator of the Week column....Read more

Winston Secures Federal Circuit Victory for Snap Axing Image-Presentation Patents on the Pleadings

Ask Sydney sued Snap along with four large tech companies in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, asserting infringement of two related patents on methods of generating and presenting images to a user to determine the user’s interest. Working closely with Snap, Winston successfully moved to transfer the case to the Central District of California, then moved for judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility under § 101 of the Patent Act. Following a hearing with multiple rounds of argument, the district court granted the motion, adopting Winston’s arguments that distinguished findings by the patent examiner during prosecution and by the Western District of Texas, which had denied § 101 motions brought by two other defendants. Ask Sydney appealed, but the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed three days after oral argument, handing Snap a decisive win invalidating all claims of both asserted patents. Eimeric Reig led the strategy and argued the appeal and motion hearing, working with Kathi Vidal and Kelly Hunsaker....Read more

California Limits Contractor Retention to Five Percent

Starting in 2026, California will cap retention in private construction contracts at 5%, matching public works standards. The rule excludes non-mixed-use residential projects under four stories and applies across all contractor-subcontractor levels. Lower retention rates for direct contractors will extend to subcontractors. Advocates say that the cap will ease financial strain, especially for smaller firms. Owners may respond with stricter bonding requirements, potentially raising construction costs due to reduced protection against non-performance.

Winston will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they become available. Please contact your Winston relationship partner should you have any questions or to request further information.
