Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP has expanded its tax practice by bringing on Brett Fieldston as a partner in its New York office. The firm disclosed the move on its website earlier this week. Fieldston makes the transition from KPMG, where he advised clients in asset management and investment funds on an array of complex, cross-border, and internal U.S. tax matters.
At Fried Frank, Fieldston is expected to leverage his considerable expertise in advising on management company structuring, fund formation, and a variety of asset classes, including private and public equities, direct lending, and specialty finance. His portfolio also includes guidance on royalty streams, real estate, and infrastructure projects, as well as counsel to business joint ventures, operating portfolio companies, platforms, and family enterprises.
The recruitment of Fieldston underscores Fried Frank’s commitment to bolstering its tax department capabilities, particularly in guiding high-stakes financial operations involving significant legal and tax compliance considerations. The legal community will be watching closely to see how his presence may impact the firm’s strategy and client engagements.
