Three Litigation Partners Join Winston in Washington, D.C.

Winston & Strawn recently announced the addition of Scott Border, Daniel Chaudoin, and Caitlin Mandel to the firm’s Washington, D.C., office. Scott joins the Intellectual Property Practice, while Daniel and Caitlin join the Government Investigations, Enforcement, and Compliance Practice.

Scott focuses his practice on intellectual property litigation at the trial and appellate level, where he helps companies in diverse high-technology fields, including consumer electronics, software, and wireless communications. He also has extensive experience representing clients in complex administrative proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where he has tried more than one hundred inter partes review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

Dan and Caitlin defend major financial institutions, public companies, and senior executives in investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FINRA, the U.S. Department of Justice and various state attorneys general, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). They have extensive experience conducting sensitive internal investigations and advising clients regarding interactions with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board.

“Scott, Dan, and Caitlin are important additions to our office, and their experience is directly relevant to the challenges our clients confront,” said Office Managing Partner David Rogers in the press release announcing their arrival. “Clients look to us for robust advocacy in numerous matters, including patent litigation and vigorous representation when confronting government oversight and a complex regulatory environment. These three partners, working with their practice colleagues, will allow Winston and the D.C. office to provide clients with strong, effective counsel.”
