Provided by Vinson & Elkins LLP
V&E’s Tax lawyers handle some of the most complex and challenging transactions for U.S. and non-U.S. businesses raising equity and debt capital, buying, selling or reorganizing businesses, and entering into joint ventures. Our diverse client base features many Global 1000 companies, as well as major private equity funds.
We maintain a dominant position with respect to the formation and operation of publicly traded limited partnerships (MLPs) or limited liability companies, also known as “master limited partnerships.” Our lawyers have represented either issuers or underwriters in more than 80% of all natural resource and real estate MLP initial public offerings.
Taxation of energy is an area of tax law in which few can rival our experience. We represent upstream, midstream and downstream companies, as well as drillers, service companies and energy-focused private equity funds. We also have experience structuring investments in clean and renewable energy.
We represent many private equity funds in fund formation and their investment activities, such as leveraged buyouts, mergers and acquisitions.
V&E’s Tax practice serves clients in multiple industries, with particular depth in energy (including oil and gas), technology, electric power, airlines, coal, shipping, financial services, real estate, telecommunications, computer software, life sciences, healthcare and medical devices.
