Aaron Benjamin Joins Winston & Strawn as Structured Finance Partner

Winston & Strawn recently announced the addition of Aaron Benjamin to the firm’s Charlotte and New York offices as a partner in the Transactions Department and a member of the Structured Finance Practice. Aaron represents many of the largest U.S. and foreign banks in commercial real estate warehouse lending deals. He is recognized as a market leader in bank-side representation in pooled lending transactions backed by commercial mortgage loans and in structured repurchase transactions backed by asset-backed securities, including mortgage backed securities, CRE CLO bonds and commercial bank loan and middle market CLO bonds.

“Aaron’s commercial real estate and specialty repurchase transactions experience will intersect well with our residential and commercial real estate, banking, and finance groups. His specialty lending work for banks and other large financial institutions will be beneficial to expanding our structured finance practice in New York, Charlotte, and abroad,” said Tim Kincaid and Brad Vaiana, Transactions Department co-chairs, in the press release announcing his arrival.
