Farrell’s practice focuses on corporate tax, income tax planning, international tax, spin-offs and mergers and acquisitions. He brings extensive experience in matters involving creating tax-efficient structures for domestic and international transactions, including joint ventures, separations, restructurings and other reorganizations.
