Winston Takes Home Houston Business Journal Diversity in Business Award

Winston & Strawn has won Houston Business Journal’s (HBJ) inaugural Diversity Award for outstanding company in the small category. 

HBJ highlights Winston’s creation of a diversity-in-hiring subcommittee, hiring of a chief talent officer, and launch of a sponsorship initiative to improve the hiring, promotion, and retention of a diverse bench of lawyers.

According to Sylvia James, Winston’s Director of Diversity & Inclusion, “one third of the partners in Winston’s Houston office are women, which is considerably higher than the national legal industry average of 19 percent. I’m thrilled to see the office being recognized for its diversity and inclusion efforts.”
