Clifford Chance announced that US tax specialist Kevin Colan will join its US Tax, Pensions & Employment (TPE) practice as a partner in its New York Office. Colan brings to the firm more than 20 years of experience advising on US tax issues across complex international transactions for financial investors, sponsors and corporates. He has worked across a range of sectors including Funds & Investment Management, Sovereign Wealth, Healthcare and Private Equity.

The US TPE head David Moldenhauer says, "In an environment where clients seek to keep on top of the risks and opportunities arising from changes in the law, we are seeing growing demand for guidance on critical tax issues. Kevin's arrival follows last year's appointment of partner Paul Seraganian to the team and builds on our ambition to provide first-class advice to domestic and international clients."

Colan comments, "I'm extremely excited to be joining this truly global network, and to have the opportunity to work with such a dynamic, accomplished and ambitious team. I am looking forward to contributing to the firm’s ongoing growth in the Americas and delivering value to our clients worldwide.”
