Khoa focuses his practice on M&A transactions ranging from mid-market to large-scale acquisitions.

"Winston & Strawn has a highly respected corporate practice globally, and I am looking forward to strengthening the firm's presence in Northern California," said Khoa.

"Khoa's experience in these areas will add considerable value to our client engagements and will be instrumental in our continued ability to best and fully serve our clients in this unique market."
"Northern California continues to be a significant area of growth for our clients, and we are committed to expanding our teams and capabilities in Silicon Valley and San Francisco to meet that demand," said Winston Chairman Tom Fitzgerald.
