Shortly after becoming Winston & Strawn’s new managing partner in Silicon Valley earlier this year, Katherine Vidal said she was interested in wooing women and minority lateral candidates.

Vidal, who is a board member at ChIPs, an organization that works to further the cause of women in technology law, has now seen those efforts come to fruition. Shortly before Labor Day, Winston & Strawn welcomed two more female intellectual property litigators to its ranks in California.
