Sanjay Thapar Joins Winston & Strawn in New York

Winston & Strawn recently announced the addition of Sanjay Thapar to the firm’s New York office, where he joined as a partner in the Transactions Department. He also co-chairs the Global Leveraged Finance team working within the firm’s Finance Practice.

Sanjay focuses his practice on counseling and representing leading investment banks and direct lenders in leveraged buyout financings as well as workouts/restructurings. 

“Sanjay’s broad-based experience representing the interests of financial institutions, private funds, and direct lenders will be of critical importance given recent interest rate hikes,” said Michael Mullins, co-chair of Winston’s Finance Practice in the press release announcing his arrival. “His work with large-cap players tracks with our growth and adds to our growing capabilities in creating and executing complex loans across a wide range of vertical industries,” added Mats Carlston, managing partner of Winston’s New York office and co-chair of the firm’s Finance Practice.
