Amy Drais has joined Day Pitney as a tax partner at its Stamford, Connecticut office, the firm announced Monday. Drais brings extensive expertise in advising fund managers, investment funds, and their investors on a variety of partnership tax matters, including fund formation, management structures, and investment structuring, extending to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
Her practice also encompasses advisory roles on mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, private investment funds, joint ventures, and broader international and domestic tax matters. Before her move to Day Pitney, Drais served as the international tax director and tax counsel at Thomson Reuters.
Given Day Pitney’s focus on enhancing its tax capabilities, Drais’ addition is expected to further bolster the firm’s service offerings to its clients in key areas of economic activity.
This development reflects a continuing trend of lateral moves in the legal market as firms aim to strengthen their strategic practice areas in response to evolving client needs.
