Mintz is pleased to announce that Timothy J. Santoli has joined the firm as a Member of the Tax Practice, bolstering the firm’s transactional tax capabilities. Prior to joining Mintz, Mr. Santoli was a partner in the Taxation Practice at Dentons.

Mr. Santoli is a seasoned tax attorney with deep capabilities in U.S. and international federal income taxation, including in relation to venture capital, private equity, and other transactions, fund formation, emerging companies, and bankruptcy. He has represented clients across a wide variety of industries, including financial services, health care, pharmaceuticals, technology, retail, education, automotive, and cannabis.

“Tim is an excellent addition to the firm and our growing transactional practice,” said Bob Bodian, Managing Member of Mintz. “His expansive knowledge of domestic and international federal income tax matters strengthens our ability to work as a strategic partner with our clients on their most complex transactions.”

Mr. Santoli has extensive experience advising clients on U.S. and cross-border tax-planning strategies, taxable and tax-free mergers, and acquisitions and dispositions of U.S. and foreign corporations. He also regularly counsels clients on partnership tax matters involving fund formation and restructuring. In addition, his practice encompasses representing private equity fund and venture capital sponsors and their portfolio companies in transactions, joint ventures, liquidations, and investments.

Mintz’s tax group has been expanding over the last few months. In December, Member Ari Feder, who focuses on tax issues arising in the private equity and alternative investment fund industry, joined the New York office. The firm added Member Gregg Benson, who advises companies and individuals on a wide range of tax issues related to transactions, estate tax planning, and renewable energy projects, in October.

The firm’s Tax Practice works with businesses at all stages and sizes; start-ups; public and private companies; family-owned businesses; domestic and international companies; private equity, venture capital, and other investment firms; entrepreneurs; executives; professional services firms; U.S. and international investors; and others to ensure their transactions are solidly structured and their operations are properly handled for the present as well as future.
