Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP is pleased to announce that Soyun Park has joined the firm’s Energy, Infrastructure and Project Finance Team and the Tax, Employee Benefits, and Trusts and Estates practice group as a partner in the New York office. Park joins from Winston & Strawn. She is the 14th partner to join Sheppard Mullin in 2020.

“We’ve added some incredibly smart and talented tax attorneys to our team over the past few years as we continue building our transactional practices,” said Jon Newby, vice chairman of Sheppard Mullin. “Soyun is a first-class attorney with a wealth of knowledge and experience that makes her a valuable addition to our Energy Team and Tax practice group. We’re thrilled she’s joined us.”

Amy L. Tranckino, leader of the firm’s Tax, Employee Benefits, and Trusts and Estates practice, added, “Soyun will bring her transactional and structuring skills to clients in the renewable energy sector, many of whom have parent companies overseas and multiple overseas investments. Her experience also dovetails with our existing international tax capabilities and our robust Korea practice. Her ability to help clients navigate tax implications on a wide range of issues and her international tax planning experience will be of great benefit to our cross-border clients.”

Park concentrates her practice on international tax planning and transactional matters. She advises domestic and multinational clients in connection with their structural and transactional tax planning, including advice concerning domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, financings, dispositions, restructurings, joint ventures, financial products, securities offerings, and other major transactions. At Sheppard Mullin, Soyun will focus her efforts on renewable energy transactions, international tax planning, and expanding the firm’s Korea practice. Park earned her B.S. from Columbia University, her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, and her LL.M. from New York University School of Law.
