Winston & Strawn LLP announced today that Alexandra E.
Chopin has joined the Washington, D.C. office as a partner in the
Litigation Department.
Alexandra specializes in high-value international commercial,
tort, and regulatory disputes and investigations in the U.S. on
behalf of domestic and foreign financial institutions and central
banking authorities, global corporations, and foreign sovereign
governments and sovereign-owned entities. An experienced trial
lawyer and appellate advocate, Alexandra is recognized for her
success in securing early dismissals of litigation by challenging
jurisdiction under the U.S. Constitution and federal statutes with
extraterritorial effect, including the Antiterrorism Act and the
Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. She has litigated these issues
before federal and state courts at all levels, including in the
U.S. Supreme Court.
A former college newspaper reporter and media consultant to
political campaigns, Alexandra also regularly represents
publications, broadcast media, and public figures in defamation
actions throughout the U.S.
“Winston’s powerhouse litigators are playing a critical role in
the most complex, cutting-edge cases in the courts today, and the
firm is a natural fit for my clients,” Alexandra said. “Winston
innately understands that international clients need their
Washington, D.C. lawyers to protect their ability to do business in
the U.S. by recognizing the potential for federal statutes and
regulations to trigger agency investigations and congressional
scrutiny in addition to litigation.”
“Alexandra’s talent and skill for litigating high-value cases
and investigations that span multiple U.S. and international
jurisdictions make her an important strategic addition to our
litigation team,” said Washington, D.C. Office Managing Partner
David Rogers. “She will also be a tremendous asset to the D.C.
office because, after nearly two decades in practice in Washington,
she knows how to create solutions by looking beyond the courts to
legislative, regulatory, political, and media avenues unique to
D.C.”
“Winston is committed to strategic growth in our nation’s
capital, and Alexandra brings significant experience in large-scale
litigation and complex case management,” said Litigation Department
Co-Chairs Linda Coberly and Tom Melsheimer. “We look forward to her
insights and contributions as our litigation team continues to
generate favorable results for our clients.”
