Withers
Withers has hired Rachel Hawkins as a corporate tax partner in
London, a role that includes working on family offices
transactions, among other areas. She joins from O'Melveny &
Myers, and previously worked at Baker & McKenzie.
Hawkins advises on share and asset sales and purchases, corporate
finance transactions, corporate and fund formations and
restructurings, establishing and unwinding joint ventures for
private equity firms, corporates and investors, working on family
office transactions and the structuring of management investment
arrangements.
"Rachel's hire is an important step for our London practice,
reflecting the increased demand for corporate tax advice
generated by the growth of our corporate work for clients,"
Jeremy Arnold, co-head of Withers' Private Client and Tax
division, said. "For instance, we are increasingly working with
tech businesses, thanks to the arrival of our JAG Shaw Baker
colleagues, to form Withers Tech in August 2018. Our US, Asian
and Italian practices have well established strengths in
corporate tax advice, and it has been an important strategic aim
to bolster this in London."
