Shan Haider Joins Winston & Strawn in New York

Winston & Strawn recently announced that Shan Haider has joined the firm’s New York office as a partner in the Transactions Department and a member of the Structured Finance Practice. Shan advises institutional capital providers in deploying capital through various investment vehicles, in highly regulated markets, providing bespoke solutions to meet strategic objectives. He regularly represents asset managers, specialty finance companies, private funds, registered investment companies, and originators across a broad range of consumer and real estate-backed asset classes.

“Winston has made a significant investment in high-end transactional capabilities in a variety of relevant areas, including structured finance, fund finance, leverage finance, project finance and private equity,” Shan told Law360. “That broader transactional sophistication alights well with my asset manager clients, whose needs increasingly span cross-disciplines.”

“We’re pleased to welcome Shan to Winston,” said Transactions Department Co-Chairs Brad Vaiana and Tim Kincaid in the press release announcing his arrival. “Shan’s experience will further strengthen our residential asset finance and securitization capabilities while enhancing our ability to structure innovative, regulatory-informed solutions for clients. His depth of regulatory knowledge adds tremendous value to the firm.”
