Winston & Strawn Sponsors, Speaks at ABS East 2025

Winston & Strawn is proud to sponsor ABS East 2025 in Miami Beach. ABS East is one of the world’s preeminent events in the structured finance space, hosting over 5,000 industry professionals for three days of insightful and high-impact programming.

Michelle Abad, partner and co-chair of our Residential Asset Finance and Securitization Practice, will moderate the conference’s “RMBS Market Outlook” panel on Tuesday, October 21, at 11:00 a.m. (ET) in the Track B – Coral 2 convention space. This in-depth discussion will provide attendees with useful insights on issuance trends, performance outlook, and investor appetite as private-label RMBS adapts to a market defined by equity-rich homes, sticky rates, and structurally changing borrower profiles. The panel will also assess where growth is coming from amid rising rates and limited affordability.

Structured Finance partner Chris Capitanelli will speak on the panel, “Non-Bank & Online Lending,” on Tuesday, October 21, at 4:15 p.m. (ET) in the Track C – Coral 3 convention space. This panel will examine credit trends and structural innovations in FinTech-native vs traditional non-bank lenders, look at BNPL, POS, and marketplace loan platforms, and discuss platform scalability and investor appetite under increased regulatory scrutiny.

Winston lawyers Michael Mullins, Pete Morgan, Francisco Flores, Nolan Bolduc, Russell Casper, Sean Kelly, Aaron Benjamin, Dan Passage, Reuben Levavi, and Michael Lyon will also be in attendance.
