Tax

Identifying obscure but potentially costly tax issues is a skill. Solving them in the context of our client’s goals is an art, and one that Paul, Weiss practices at the highest level. Working closely with the Corporate and Restructuring Departments, our tax lawyers help clients solve problems, avoid pitfalls and uncover hidden value in all types of transactions.

• Financings, including public and private securities offerings
• Securitizations, project financings, leveraged leases and other complex credit transactions
• Bankruptcy and insolvency reorganizations and restructurings
