“Chris is an experienced national litigator who has secured more than 20 trial victories and prevailed in more than 25 appeals,” the firm said in a statement. “He represents clients in the health care, financial services and technology industries (including health tech and fintech) in commercial disputes, antitrust and unfair competition cases, and government investigations. He has appeared on behalf of Fortune 500 companies in courts across the country, including in multidistrict litigation proceedings.”

Tom Melsheimer, managing partner of Winston’s Dallas office, called Pace a “top-tier” lawyer. “He can try the most complicated jury case or handle the most sophisticated appeal,” Melsheimer said. “He has experience in a wide range of critical matters, including complex commercial disputes, unfair competition cases, and multi-jurisdictional investigations.”

Pace joins Winston’s Dallas office from Jones Day in Miami. Earlier in his career, he was an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida after clerking for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy and Judge Alex Kozinski of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He is licensed in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, New York and Texas.

Pace is an SMU graduate and earned his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Winston & Strawn has 15 offices in North and South America, Asia and Europe.
