We advise public and private companies, including private equity firms and hedge funds, as well as high-net-worth individuals, on a broad range of domestic and international transactions.   

We are particularly well-known for our experience in the financial services, insurance, real estate, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, energy, entertainment and consumer brands industries.  

While we routinely handle the tax issues inherent in virtually every type of US and cross-border transaction in these and other industries, our team is responsible for groundbreaking tax work in middle-market M&A, bankruptcy and out-of-court restructurings, private credit, real estate and other joint ventures and capital asset monetization and optimization.
