Winston & Strawn LLP announced today the return of Julissa
Reynoso as a partner in the firm’s New York office and as a member
of its Litigation Department. Julissa is an experienced diplomat,
policymaker, and lawyer, and was a Winston partner from July 2017
to December 2020.
She rejoins the firm after serving as U.S. Ambassador to Spain
and Andorra from January 2022 to July 2024, the first woman to hold
the position.
In her role as Ambassador, Julissa oversaw a critical U.S.
mission with a host of U.S. federal agencies covering economic,
political, and defense and security matters. She was a tireless
advocate for American companies doing business in Spain, and
supported historic levels of investment by Spanish companies in the
United States. During her tenure, Spain served as host of the 2022
NATO Summit and held the presidency of the Council of the European
Union.
Prior to being confirmed as Ambassador, Julissa served in senior
positions at the White House, including as Assistant to the
President and Chief of Staff to Dr. Jill Biden. In those roles, she
managed a range of domestic and international matters and served as
Co-Chair of the Gender Policy Council, the first policy council
focused on gender equity and equality within the Executive Office
of the President.
During the Obama Administration, Julissa served as Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere
Affairs and later as the U.S. Ambassador to Uruguay.
“During my three years as a partner at Winston, I witnessed the
incredible talent, creativity, and the depth of knowledge of my
colleagues, each committed to the firm’s diverse roster of global
clients,” said Julissa. “It is an exciting time to rejoin the firm,
and I look forward to supporting the new leadership team by helping
to grow the firm’s global client base.”
Julissa will focus on complex commercial litigation, regulatory
enforcement, international arbitration, and cross-border disputes.
She will provide U.S. and international clients with strategic
advice and risk assessment in managing transnational issues.
“Julissa’s exceptional background in international relations
will add considerable value for Winston’s clients,” said Peter
Crowther, managing partner, international affairs. “Her ties to
international clients will also be instrumental in advising their
businesses throughout the world including in the United
States.”
“We have followed Julissa’s accomplishments in government
service with the utmost pride and are privileged to welcome her
back to Winston,” said Winston Chairman Steve D’Amore. “Julissa is
a prime example of the global talent Winston has attracted through
a culture built on cross-practice collaboration, mentorship, and
client focus. Thinking and acting as a single global unit is a
strategic priority for Winston, and Julissa will be an integral
part of that journey.”
