Winston & Strawn Adds Tax Attorney Katherine Erbeznik in New York

Winston & Strawn LLP announced today the addition of Katherine Erbeznik as a partner in the firm’s New York office and as a member of the firm's 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.

“Winston’s proficiency in private equity transactions is highly respected in the industry,” said Katherine. “I’m thrilled to join the firm’s team of talented attorneys and support the practice.”

Katherine’s community involvement includes serving on the Tax Leadership Committee of the Chamber of Digital Commerce and on the board of the Equality Action Center (formerly The Center for WorkLife Law).

“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. “Her contributions will also be essential to our continued expansion into the oil and gas and distressed real estate industry sectors.”

“Katherine is a great example of the level of talent Winston is attracting as we continue to add depth to our offerings in private equity and digital transactions,” said Winston Chairman Steve D’Amore. “Her experience in Latin America will be particularly relevant as Winston continues to grow internationally.”
