McDermott Will & Schulte Adds Sina Hekmat to Strengthen Cross-Border Capital Markets Practice in New York
McDermott Will & Schulte has added partner Sina Hekmat to its Capital Markets group in New York, enhancing the firm's cross-border capabilities and deepening its private capital platform. With over three decades of experience, Hekmat brings expertise across US and European markets, particularly in Germany, advising on debt offerings, equity transactions, structured finance, M&A, and regulatory matters. Hekmat joins from Hogan Lovells and complements the firm's recent growth trajectory following its 2025 merger with Schulte Roth & Zabel. His addition supports clients seeking integrated legal services for cross-border capital-raising activities. McDermott’s leadership emphasized that Hekmat’s experience aligns well with client demand for a single team capable of navigating both US and European regulatory environments. The firm has been expanding its presence in New York, positioning itself among the city's largest law firms. His practice is expected to strengthen McDermott’s ability to serve clients on complex transactions involving private equity, M&A, financing, tax, and securities law across jurisdictions.
