Winston & Strawn Co-Executive Chairman Jeffrey Kessler to Be Honored by the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation

New York – May 25, 2023 – Winston & Strawn LLP is proud to announce that Co-Executive Chairman Jeffrey Kessler will be honored by the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation (AJCF) at their annual Gala on June 1, 2023.

The annual gala raises funds to support AJCF’s vital mission as a global education center in Oświęcim, Poland (the town next to Auschwitz). The center has been providing transformational anti-hate training to thousands of professionals and students annually for more than 20 years. Since the onset of the Russian invasion, AJCF has also opened its doors to Ukrainians seeking refuge by providing much-needed aid to thousands of adults, youths, and children.

AJCF recognizes Jeffrey as an ally and advocate in light of his longstanding commitment to social justice, fairness, and the public good. They will present Jeffrey with the AJCF Advocacy Award for his profound, impactful work to effect meaningful change for all. Jeffrey’s outstanding contributions serve as the paradigmatic example of fighting hatred, for everyone, especially given his remarkable efforts to stand up for those who aren't able to stand up for themselves.

He will be honored alongside:

• The Honorable Mayor Eric L. Adams, Mayor, New York City
• John Catsimatidis, Owner and CEO of Red Apple Group and Corporate Sponsor, 77 WABC
• Edith Eger, Holocaust Survivor, Bestselling Author & Clinical Psychologist
• Montana Tucker, Singer/Songwriter, Actress & Social Media Activist

“I’m extremely grateful to the AJCF for bestowing this recognition upon me,” said Jeffrey. “I look forward to standing alongside my fellow honorees at the gala and continuing my efforts in the fight against prejudice (including antisemitism) and injustice in the world.”

Jeffrey is one of the world’s leading antitrust, sports law, and trial lawyers. He has been lead counsel in some of the most complex antitrust, sports law, and intellectual property law cases in the country, including major jury trials. He has represented a number of U.S. and international companies in criminal and civil investigations involving antitrust, sports law, trade, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
