Gary M. Wingens

Gary is Chairman and Managing Partner of Lowenstein Sandler. The firm has experienced substantial growth under his direction, and now comprises over 350 lawyers in offices in New York, Palo Alto, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington, D.C. Gary believes that what makes Lowenstein Sandler different is the intensity of the firm's devotion to its people, its clients, and its communities. Under his leadership, the firm's lawyers regularly invest their skills and passion to support their colleagues, advance their clients' businesses, and strengthen their communities.

Gary's legal practice spans the areas of structured finance, mortgage finance, and commercial real estate, overseeing acquisitions, dispositions, and financings of properties; mortgage loans; and servicing rights valued in the billions of dollars. Esteemed by clients for his in-depth understanding of their industries and business processes, he inspires the firm's lawyers to immerse themselves in their clients' businesses in order to deliver efficient, relevant solutions.

Gary is also passionate about public interest and pro bono work. His vision inspired the creation of the Lowenstein Center for the Public Interest to strategically channel the firm's pro bono and public interest efforts. He serves on the Board of Directors of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice; the Board of Trustees of the Victoria Foundation, which funds programs to break the cycle of poverty, reform education, and revitalize families and neighborhoods; and the Board of Directors of Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), providing pro bono representation to unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children in their deportation proceedings. He also serves on the Executive Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest and the Council of Trustees of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. He is former President of the Board of Golda Och Academy, a Solomon Schechter school.
