Founded in 1853, Winston & Strawn is one of the largest and oldest law firms in Chicago. The office is home to 275+ lawyers distributed across 23 practice areas. Our Chicago lawyers represent 90 companies in the Fortune 500 and are recognized in all the major directories and award competitions. They also are heavily invested in pro bono causes, having dedicated 16,250+ hours in 2022 to various pro bono organizations. They are hardworking, compassionate, and diverse—nearly 50% of the lawyers in this office identify as women, racial/ethnic minorities, and/or LGBTQ+. Our Chicago office also takes immense pride in fostering a collegial atmosphere that influences every aspect of our culture. From weekly Starbucks Socials, where colleagues gather to connect over coffee and conversation, to ping pong tournaments that ignite friendly competition, to volunteer opportunities around the city, we celebrate the camaraderie and sense of community that unite us. This not only enhances collaboration and teamwork but creates a supportive environment that inspires us to excel in our professional pursuits.

I felt great about joining Winston because the firm was genuinely interested in investing in my growth as a lawyer. They were more interested in what I could provide moving forward—not just what I have done in the past.
