Renowned Attorney Abbe Lowell Departs Winston & Strawn to Found Independent Firm, Begins Representation of NY AG Letitia James

Abbe Lowell, a distinguished white-collar criminal defense attorney known for his previous representation of Hunter Biden, has parted ways with Winston & Strawn to establish his own legal practice. This move marks the beginning of his representation of New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Notably, Lowell’s departure from Winston & Strawn comes nearly seven years after he joined the firm from Norton Rose Fulbright. A spokesperson for Winston & Strawn declined to comment on whether his departure was influenced by his new role representing James, who currently faces a criminal referral from a Trump administration official.
