Aparna Sehgal Joins Winston & Strawn in London

Winston & Strawn recently announced that Aparna Sehgal has joined the firm’s Transactions Department in London as a partner in the Structured Finance Practice and Chair of Winston’s Structured Finance and Real Estate Finance teams in the U.K. and Europe.

With more than 20 years in the industry representing parties across the capital stack, Aparna brings deep experience advising on the financing of complex multijurisdictional real-estate-backed transactions in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the Nordics, and the United States. She has been at the forefront of the growth of using back leverage as a core component of complex financing solutions within an evolving regulatory landscape.

“Aparna’s practice strengthens our real estate and structured-finance offerings and brings extensive experience in representing a diverse range of capital providers in the U.K. and across Europe. Growing our London office is a key priority for the firm, and the combined wealth of experience of Aparna and her team will be beneficial as we increase our cross-selling opportunities from the U.S. into London to meet client demand,” said Nicholas Usher, London office managing partner, in the press release announcing her arrival.

“This is such an exciting opportunity to build the practice out in London, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Winston team under Steve D’Amore’s leadership,” said Aparna.
