NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Morrison Foerster, a leading global law firm, is pleased to announce the arrival of Richard Nugent as a partner in the firm's global Tax Group, based in the New York office. Nugent will serve as co-chair of the global Tax Group, alongside Tony Carbone. He brings over 25 years of experience to the firm advising clients on the tax aspects of public and private M&A transactions, spin-offs, internal restructurings, bankruptcies and out-of-court restructurings, financings and other capital markets transactions, joint ventures, and tax controversies.
"Richard is a strong, strategic addition to our global Tax practice, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the tax team and to the firm," said Tony Carbone, chair of Morrison Foerster's global Tax Group. "He is an experienced tax lawyer with robust practice development skills, and will be a tremendous asset to the continued growth of our Tax practice globally and on the ground in New York and to our M&A, private equity, and restructuring clients, both in the United States and internationally across various key industries."
Prior to Morrison Foerster, Nugent was a partner in the tax practice at another prominent global firm. Over the span of his more than two-and-a-half decade career, Nugent has advised high-profile clients on the tax aspects of many types of transactions and deal structures. He also has been recognized in the industry numerous times, including in Chambers USA, The Legal 500 US, and Turnarounds & Workouts' annual list of tax advisors, and is a regular speaker on tax issues that impact the business community. He was elected as a Fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel in 2022 and is a member of the Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association Tax Section.
"Morrison Foerster's exceptional transactional capabilities, particularly in the areas of tax, M&A, private equity, and restructuring, have great synergies with my areas of focus and experience," said Nugent. "I look forward to working with my new colleagues, on the ground in New York and across the firm's global offices, to help expand the firm's global Tax practice and help guide clients in structuring their most significant and complex tax transactions."
