About Winston Taylor
Winston Taylor launched in June 2026 through the combination of Winston & Strawn and Taylor Wessing's UK-led business. The combined firm brings together practices across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. This description reflects the new platform rather than the former standalone Winston & Strawn practice.

The firm's stated industry focus covers technology, media and telecommunications, life sciences and healthcare, financial services, and projects, energy and infrastructure. The combination also expands corporate, private equity, real estate, finance, antitrust, and regulatory services.
For students, the combined practice creates a broader context for researching opportunities associated with the former Winston name. Transactional and disputes teams now sit alongside additional technology, private client, and international capabilities. Current firm and recruiting materials provide the appropriate guide to how those teams and offices work together following the combination.
