Litigation: Appellate

Winston’s Chicago litigation practice is well-known in the Chicagoland area and nationally as having the deepest and most active bench of trial lawyers in Illinois. We have across-the-board strength with leading practitioners in general commercial, class action, securities, antitrust, intellectual property, professional liability, product liability, white collar criminal defense, appellate law, and international arbitration. 

Our litigators are some of the most seasoned in the industry, bringing extensive courtroom experience that enables us to spot outcome-determinative legal issues earlier so we can prepare compelling arguments that support our clients’ positions. Our long history of taking cases to trial―and winning—gives our clients tremendous settlement leverage with their adversaries and confidence in a successful outcome if and when they go to trial. We litigate seamlessly from state jurisdictions like our “home court” of Cook County to federal court in any other part of the country.

Our attorneys represent clients in their most crucial matters, including bet-the-company cases, cases with exposure in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and headline-grabbing cases making news across the world.
