 |
The legal team at Winston & Strawn is not blowing smoke, they're defending it. Representing Big Tobacco in several lawsuits against Philip Morris, the Chicago-based law firm specializes in jury-trial litigation and corporate law. The firm's 850 lawyers work in litigation, defending such clients as Sears, Abbott Laboratories, and General Electric. Founded in 1853, the firm also has practices in antitrust and trade regulations, employment and labor relations, intellectual property, taxation, and trusts and estates. Winston & Strawn has six offices worldwide. The firm acquired Whitman, Breed, Abbott & Morgan in a deal that nearly doubled the number of lawyers in Winston & Strawn's New York City office.
