International law firm McDermott Will & Emery augmented two Texas offices with renowned tax lawyers, according to a press release.

Seven attorneys will take on new Dallas legal jobs and Houston legal jobs.

Partners Mark R. Martin and John T. Woodruff and associate Mark Horowitz join the firm’s Houston office.  Cym H. Lowell will spearhead a team comprised of managing director Hiroaki Furuya, economist Tracy Gomes and financial analyst Haiyan Zhang in the Dallas office.

“I am truly excited about this unique opportunity to welcome Cym, Mark and their excellent team to McDermott,” partner and head Lowell D. Yoder with the firm’s U.S. and international tax practice group said. “McDermott has long had the most prominent tax law brand in the country.  The firm is widely recognized for excellence in international planning, M&A, partnerships, financial products, closely held companies, and tax controversy.  Our new transfer pricing team enhances the McDermott brand of excellence, rounds out our full-service client capabilities on a global basis and adds particular strength in the area of tax litigation.”

Martin will be the head of the firm’s transfer pricing practice.

Lowell also is vice chair of the International Chamber of Commerce Taxation Commission.
