Tax
Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP handles day-to-day tax issues as well as those related to transactions and restructurings, and complements this with expertise in tax disputes. In the transactional arena, the team particularly focuses on M&A and private equity and regularly assists with carve-outs and the structuring of closed-end funds and asset deals, including due diligence and post-transaction audits. Tobias Geerling has similar priorities and heads the practice, which lost Benjamin Rapp (transactional tax support) to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP in spring 2024.
