Fried Frank has announced a significant addition to its tax department in London with the hiring of Oliver Currall as a partner. This move marks a strategic enhancement for the firm in its efforts to bolster its international tax advisory capabilities. Currall transitions to Fried Frank from Sidley Austin where he built a profound expertise in advising on complex UK and international tax structuring.
Oliver Currall’s practice predominantly centers on cross-border private equity, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions, and the structuring and operation of global investment funds. His extensive experience is expected to be a boon for Fried Frank, particularly in providing tax advice to major private equity sponsors and asset managers, focusing on UK management company and asset holding structures.
The addition of Currall is aligned with Fried Frank’s strategy to expand and deepen its tax advisory services, particularly in handling sophisticated transactions that demand a nuanced understanding of both UK and international tax laws. Currall’s expertise positions him to significantly contribute to the growing demands of global clients who require adept handling of complex tax matters.
