Industry
Winston’s financial crimes compliance lawyers have been providing regulatory compliance counseling and enforcement services related to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML), and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) policy for decades. We also have experience with international AML matters, including in the EU and with respect to Financial Actions Task Force (FATF) recommendations.
Industry
Insurance plays an essential role in risk mitigation for financial services companies. As risks evolve, questions often arise concerning the scope of insurance coverage and the interpretation and application of policy provisions. Winston’s insurance lawyers provide companies with best-in-class advice, corporate and transactional counsel, and, if need be, litigation defense in high-stakes coverage disputes and class actions. We have achieved excellent outcomes for our clients in matters involving a wide variety of insurance policies and claims, including cybersecurity, travel, long-term care, and annuities, among others. Moreover, we have experience in emerging issues and industries, such as blockchain technology and artificial intelligence, both of which present insurers with a unique and complicated set of risks and opportunities.
Practice Area
Winston’s financial services litigators advise financial services companies of every size and scope on litigation, dispute resolution, and regulatory matters in local, state, and federal jurisdictions. While we are proud to have advised many clients as to how avoid formal legal proceedings, should litigation arise, we bring to bear the full strength of our nationally renowned litigation and trial practice when it does arise.

In December 2024, we covered a series of judicial actions that affected the enforcement status of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and its beneficial ownership information reporting rule (BOI Reporting Rule). Just about a month shy of the January 1, 2025 reporting deadline for pre-2024 reporting companies, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and two panels of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the Fifth Circuit) issued orders leading to a tug-of-war over the legality of the CTA/BOI Reporting Rule – first, a nationwide preliminary injunction issued by Judge Mazzant (Mazzant Preliminary Injunction) in Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. McHenry (formerly Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Garland), then a stay order issued by the Fifth Circuit that effectively put the Mazzant Preliminary Injunction on ice. Then just three days after that, the Fifth Circuit issued another order vacating its previous stay order.
