Won Important Dismissal of Sherman Act Claims Against Actors’ Equity on Statutory Labor Exemption Grounds

Defended Actors’ Equity (“Equity”)—a union representing actors in Broadway theaters—in a case filed in the Southern District of New York by Garth Drabinsky, the lead creative producer for Paradise Square. Drabinsky was placed on the union’s “Do Not Work List” and alleged that his placement on the list constituted a group boycott in violation of Sherman Act Sections 1 and 2. We moved to dismiss the first amended complaint in early 2023. In April 2023, Judge Schofield granted Equity’s motion and applied the statutory labor exemption to shield the union’s conduct. The judge also dismissed all other claims in the case, with prejudice. This win was recognized by Am Law with a Litigator of the Week Shout Out....Read more

These actions follow the invocation of the JCPOA’s snapback mechanism by the E3 (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) on August 28, 2025, and mark a major shift in the international legal and commercial landscape for entities engaged with Iran.

Nicholas Usher Discusses U.S. Alternatives Managers’ Interest in European Investments with FundFire

Winston & Strawn London Office Managing Partner Nicholas Usher was quoted in a FundFire article discussing European investments, the challenges that might arise from firms branching out from the U.S. to Europe, and how investing in Europe is different than investing in the U.S. United States-based alternatives managers are looking at dealmaking in Europe as a viable investment, due in part to optimism around a relatively steadier capital-raising environment in Europe and what appears to be greater deal activity in key sectors, including the European defense industry, but these opportunities require a high level of commitment from U.S. fund managers to ensure their European investments succeed....Read more
