Paula Hinton Speaks at ABA Annual Meeting
August 1, 2015
Winston & Strawn partner Paula Hinton spoke at the ABA Annual Meeting on August 1, 2015, in Chicago.
Ms. Hinton was a panelist in the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession’s program “Women as Lead Counsel at Trial: What You Can Do to Take the Lead.” The CLE Showcase event discussed why more women aren’t sitting as lead counsel in major litigation matters and what steps can be taken to change the trend.
The panel presented innovative ABA research about roles played by men and women in the courtroom and discussed how women can advance into lead roles at trial, how clients can have an impact on diversity of their trial lawyers, and what firms can do to guide talented women towards becoming first-chair trial attorneys.
Ms. Hinton is a litigation partner in the firm’s Houston office and co-chair of the 2015 ABA Section of Litigation Annual Meeting. Her practice focuses on representing businesses in complex civil litigation.
