Winston Team Led by Sam Mendenhall Featured in Litigator of the Week Column

A Winston & Strawn team led by Sam Mendenhall was featured in The Am Law Litigation Daily’s Litigator of the Week column on October 27, 2023.

Their recognition is a result of U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin’s dismissal of a lawsuit brought against their client, the Chicago Housing Authority, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development challenging the lease of a vacant parcel of land to the Chicago Fire soccer team for a new training facility on the city’s Near West Side. The judge found that the community groups who had sought an injunction blocking the deal under civil rights statutes and the Administrative Procedure Act lacked standing. The Winston team also included Sean Suber, Katherine Kyman, and Carol Abing.
