Winston & Strawn’s Los Angeles tax practice has seen a significant addition with the return of Jennifer Morgan, who has served as of counsel with Winston from 2018 to 2021. Morgan has been appointed as a partner of the transactions department and a member of the tax practice according to a report from Bloomberg Industry Group.
Morgan brings significant expertise to the role, having represented clients regarding U.S. federal income and international tax considerations in transaction planning, structuring, and execution. She also has experience with complex mergers and acquisitions.
A unique aspect of Morgan’s background is her specialization within the energy and infrastructure industry. She has dealt with energy-related financings including traditional M&A and tax equity financings involving wind and solar farms, district energy, geothermal and hydroelectric power facilities. This specialization is expected to bolster Winston & Strawn’s offering in the energy sector.
The addition of Jennifer Morgan’s skill set to the Winston & Strawn tax practice underscores the firm’s focus on expanding into targeted industries and offering specialized legal expertise to their clients. Future developments in their tax practice will be watched keenly by legal professionals and industry stakeholders alike.
