Angela Machala
Partner
Winston & Strawn LLP
Since 2021, Angela Machala has been the managing partner of Winston & Strawn LLP’s Los Angeles office. Winton is one of the 50 largest firms in the United States, and Machala successfully leads LA’s 80-person team while also maintaining her litigation practice. Some of Machala’s most striking case-related career accomplishments to date involve successfully getting criminal charges dropped against her clients before trial, against all odds. Her track record is due in part to her diligence in researching and investigating these cases, as well as her finely honed ability to use the resulting facts to educate and persuade prosecutors of her clients’ innocence. Clients trust Machala with overseeing sensitive internal investigations into allegations involving fraud, theft of trade secrets, kickbacks and other corporate impropriety.
