(London) – Akin today announced that Natasha Kaye joins as a tax partner in London, strengthening the firm’s global market-leading tax practice.

Kaye has been a partner at Cooley for nine years. Her addition to Akin follows the recent arrival of a global technology transactions team, including Justin Stock, Stephen Rosen and David Bresnick, who joined the firm’s London office in September. Kaye also follows head of international arbitration Mark Clarke and corporate partner Daniel Wayte who both arrived at Akin in January.

A market-leading and experienced corporate tax advisor, Kaye supports transactional practices with a particular focus on private equity, technology and the life sciences sectors. She advises on a wide range of transactions including cross-border and domestic M&A, equity capital markets, reorganizations, joint ventures, financing, outsourcing, international tax planning and restructuring.

“Our tax practice plays a key role in delivering the sophisticated, commercial advice our clients expect, particularly in complex cross-border transactions,” said Akin co-chair Abid Qureshi. “Natasha’s deep experience and stellar market reputation further strengthens our ability to support clients in private equity, technology, and life sciences.”

Partner in charge of London Sebastian Rice said, “Natasha’s hire is another significant step for our London office and is a continuation of our growth in the transactions space. Natasha’s sophisticated experience deepens our tax offering, in-line with market trends to meet client needs.”
