Katherine Erbeznik Joins Winston & Strawn in New York Office

Winston & Strawn recently announced the addition of Katherine Erbeznik as a partner in the firm’s New York office and as a member of the Transactions Department and Tax Practice. 

Katherine brings extensive experience in a wide range of transactional tax matters, including private equity acquisitions and fund formation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, REITs, and oil and gas. She also advises clients on the tax implications of digital asset transactions and transactions involving distressed companies, including both out-of-court restructurings and bankruptcy. Her work in cross-border mergers and acquisitions includes a particular focus in Latin America. She also has advised private fund managers on the tax aspects of fund formation, both as an external advisor and as in-house counsel with a global asset manager.

“Katherine possesses a comprehensive knowledge of complex tax matters that will be invaluable as we continue to meet client needs within private equity and related transactional practices,” said New York Office Managing Partner Mats Carlston in the press release announcing her arrival. “Her contributions will also be essential to our continued expansion into the oil and gas and distressed real estate industry sectors.”

“I think it was Winston’s presence in the middle market private equity sphere that got my attention, but then the more I met people, I was won over by the collegiality and the great partners and associates they have here,” Katherine told Law360.
