Winston Team Recognized as Runner-Up in Litigator of the Week Column

A Winston & Strawn team led by partners James Herbison and Michael Mayer was featured in the Litigator of the Week column by The Am Law Litigation Daily on December 3, 2024.

The recognition stems from the team and co-counsel’s work helping three major credit bureaus—Equifax, TransUnion and Experian—defeat claims they colluded with credit score provider FICO to cause consumers to overpay for credit scores. U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang in Chicago found that the plaintiffs hadn’t adequately alleged that the credit bureaus entered into a conspiracy to further FICO’s alleged monopoly and last week dismissed the claims against them with prejudice.

The Winston team also included associates Tom Neuner and Henry Blattner.
