DALLAS, May 15, 2019, — Chambers and Partners has again acknowledged Winstead PC for its reputation for delivering high level, client-focused legal services. The 2019 Chambers USA Guide recognized 27 Winstead attorneys in 13 practice areas, of which five practices were included in bands 1- 4. The real estate and construction practices were ranked in band 1, while the insurance, environmental, banking and finance practices ranked in bands 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

“It is flattering when clients and peers hold our attorneys and practices with such high regard,” said Winstead CEO David Dawson. “The truly rewarding element is the validation of Winstead’s tradition of client-focused service, which drives us to exceed our clients’ expectations.”
