• Consulting with clients and their attorneys on transaction structuring and drafting tax aspects of agreements.
• Reviewing closed transactions to document the terms of legal agreements, tax characterization, and tax attributes to be reported on a tax return.
• Participating in client-facing discussions and helping communicate technical conclusions to engagement teams.
• Meaningful interactions with staff at all levels as well as with our impressive repertoire of clients.
• Deepening knowledge of tax consulting, mergers and acquisitions, and transaction advisory services through hands‑on experience with sophisticated technical and business issues.
