About

Provided by McDermott Will & Emery LLP

Strong practice advising on state and local tax (SALT), US and international tax, and the tax aspects of large M&A deals, transfer pricing, controversy and high-profile advisory work across three office locations.

State and local tax – McDermott has one of the largest state and local tax departments in the US and is one of only a small handful of firms in California with dedicated state and local tax capability.

International tax – Our lawyers advise on the US tax aspects of cross-border deals, as well as high-profile tax planning and advisory work. We advise numerous multinational companies in more than 70 countries.

M&A/Transactions – McDermott’s California tax team has a strong transactional tax and advisory practice covering some of the largest M&A deals, private equity buyouts, spin-offs, corporate restructurings, and IPOs.

Blue-chip clientele – We provide high-end tax services to Fortune 100 companies, many private mid-size and smaller companies, and a large percentage of listed companies in other countries.

A tax firm – McDermott started life as a tax firm and tax remains central to the firm’s identity; as a “pure” tax practice, clients come to us because of a commitment to tax law. 80 percent of the tax work handled by our tax team in California is self-generated, meaning it comes directly to the tax team, not via the corporate or litigation departments – a reverse of the position typically found in law firms.
