Winston Taylor Launches as Transatlantic Law Firm

The merger unites more than 1,400 lawyers across major commercial centres to expand cross‑border litigation, transactions, strategic IP, and private wealth work.

Overview

Winston & Strawn and Taylor Wessing’s UK business have officially combined to form Winston Taylor, operating under a single brand with integrated teams and offices.
The firm says it now comprises over 1,400 lawyers across about 20 offices in the U.S., U.K., Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and highlights new cross‑border opportunities identified by its lawyers.
Winston Taylor positions itself around four core capabilities—major litigation, critical transactions, strategic IP, and private wealth—and targets sectors such as technology, life sciences, financial services, and projects, energy and infrastructure.
News coverage cites a reported revenue figure of roughly £1.3 billion but that number is reported by outlets and has not been independently verified by the firm.
Operational details on trainee and newly qualified lawyer pay remain publicly unconfirmed, while Taylor Wessing’s Netherlands and Belgium offices will form an integrated Benelux practice of more than 100 lawyers and civil‑law notaries.
