Mr Lucas Giardelli > Mayer Brown > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Mayer Brown maintains a nationwide presence, working with a diverse range of multinational corporations, financial institutions, funds, trade associations and other clients on high-value transactional and advisory mandates. An area of renowned strength continues to be securitization and structured finance, although other significant drivers of work include M&A, tax planning, investment funds, tax credits, transfer pricing, and SALT matters. The team works closely with the firm’s tax controversy practice, which further allows for the consideration of potential audit risks – where Brian Kittle is a key contact. Jason Bazar’s wide-ranging expertise covers the tax aspects of financings and business combinations; his recent work spans the energy, life sciences, TMT, and infrastructure sectors. Elsewhere, Chicago-based James Barry is the first port of call for individuals and US corporations on domestic and international tax planning matters, while Remmelt Reigersman in San Francisco focuses on financings for issuers, investment banks, and investors. Also recommended are global tax and transfer pricing co-head Lucas Giardelli, and federal income tax expert Michelle Jewett, whose expertise includes private investment funds and REITs. Bazar and Kittle co-head the practice with Chicago-based Tom Kittle-Kamp. All named individuals are based in New York unless stated otherwise.
