Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is pleased to announce that Eric Sloan has joined the New York office as a partner. Previously a principal at Deloitte Tax LLP, Sloan will continue to provide tax planning advice with an emphasis on federal income taxation, partnership taxation, and the taxation of private equity firms and funds in their mergers and acquisitions.
“We welcome Eric to Gibson Dunn,” said Ken Doran, Chairman and Managing Partner of Gibson Dunn. “A vital tax practice is a necessary and important part of the firm’s transactional practice, and Eric is nationally recognized as one of the few leading tax lawyers who combine this high level of technical expertise in partnership taxation with the depth and breadth of his M&A experience. His addition will enhance not only our tax practice, but also our M&A and investment funds capabilities.”
“Having worked at a Big Four accounting firm at the highest level for 18 years, Eric is widely regarded as one of the nation’s foremost partnership tax experts and has close ties at the highest level with the IRS and industry groups,” said Art Pasternak, Co-Chair of the firm’s Tax Practice Group.
Steven Shoemate, Co-Partner in Charge of the New York office and Co-Chair of the firm’s Private Equity Practice Group, added that “The New York office has successfully built a broad-based corporate transactional practice, and we believe that Eric’s practice complements and enhances the platform we have been building.”
