Under the leadership of federal income tax expert Joseph Pari, who splits his time between New York and Washington DC, the tax practice at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is well-placed to handle complex and high-profile international transactions. In addition to its M&A expertise, the group works closely with the firm’s private funds group, advising multiple significant entrants to the funds and private equity market, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, DFIs, and family offices. The team is also regarded for its capabilities in bankruptcies, with experience representing debtors, creditors and other investors in all phases of a restructuring; Stuart Goldring is a key contact for financially troubled companies. Other significant drivers of work include securitizations, real estate transactions and REITs, capital markets and other financing matters. Chayim Neubort is noted for his internal tax planning and reorganization capabilities, while Noah Beck’s practice focuses on transactional tax issues for private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, as well as SPACs. Andrew Morris and DC-based Graham Magill are also recommended. All named individuals are based in New York unless noted otherwise. Eric Behl-Remijan in New York departed in June 2023.
