Katten’s transactional tax planning team is well known for handling the tax aspects of major M&A, recently advising on the acquisition of NBA team The Charlotte Hornets by a consortium. Saul Rudo in Chicago, with considerable experience representing middle-market private equity firms, family offices, and closely held businesses, chairs the group. He often advises on M&A matters as well as on the tax implications of venture capital and start-up transactions. Valentina Famparska, also in Chicago, focuses on the federal income tax aspects of a variety of transactions, from fund formations to leveraged buyouts.
