Ian Borman > Winston & Strawn LLP > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Led by the very experienced Ian Borman, Winston & Strawn LLP‘s small but flexible finance team excels in complex and unusual cross-border lending work (including within emerging markets), where it leverages deep knowledge of debt products throughout the capital structure for a fairly balanced mix of borrower and lender clients. Recently promoted to partner, Daniela Cohen is a key member of the team and regularly handles corporate lending and acquisition finance matters often structured by banking syndicates.

An ‘excellent transatlantic practice with strong ties into continental Europe’, Winston & Strawn LLP handles a growing volume of instructions relating to take-privates, private-to-privates, and carve-outs. The group is jointly led by Paul Amiss and Nicholas Usher, with the former noted as a ‘standout’ partner who expertly handles public M&A, and the latter ‘a perfect deal captain’ for complex, cross-border transactions. Ian Borman‘s broad remit encompasses debt financing, junior capital transactions, and joint ventures. Other key figures include Mohima Khanom, a crucial supporting presence across a number of domestic and multijurisdictional deals.
