Dentons is pleased to announce that Radha Khosla, partner in the Toronto Banking and Finance group, and April Kosten, partner and practice lead of Calgary’s Employment and Labour group, have been honoured as leading lawyers under 40 by Lexpert Rising Stars for 2023.

“Our people, their deep understanding of our clients’ businesses and their ability to blend the creative with the practical are core aspects of our Firm,” said Tim Haney, CEO of Dentons Canada. “We are exceptionally fortunate to have talented colleagues like Radha and April, and we take tremendous pride in celebrating their outstanding achievements. Their commitment to innovation, client service and community engagement exemplify the leadership and passion our clients know to expect from Canada’s Global Law Firm.”

Radha Khosla is an esteemed member of the Firm’s banking and financial services team, adeptly advising clients on a wide range of transactions, with a specialized focus on cash flow financings, trade and supply chain finance, asset-based lending and other structured finance products, loan syndications, intercreditor matters and cross-border financings. An exceptional mentor and leader, Radha demonstrates an innovative client-centric approach through her work, earning commendations for her problem-solving skills and technical expertise. She passionately advocates for underrepresented communities, spearheading initiatives that empower women and 2SLGBTQ+ individuals in the legal practice.

April Kosten is renowned for her expertise in labour, employment, human rights, administrative and privacy law matters. Notably, she has played a pivotal role in precedent-setting workplace alcohol and drug testing matters.
