BCLP expands Global Tax Practice with latest partner addition

International law firm BCLP has appointed partner Kyle O’Sullivan to its Global Tax Advice and Controversy team.

Kyle joins BCLP from Slaughter and May. He will strengthen and bolster BCLP’s M&A tax capability. Kyle brings a strong background on the tax aspects of public and private M&A, group reorganisations, corporate financing and IP related agreements. Kyle has particular experience in the energy sector and has recently been on secondment at Vitol, one of the world’s leading energy and commodities companies, where he worked on tax planning, structuring M&A and other investments. 

Elizabeth Bradley, partner and Global Practice Group leader for Tax at BCLP, said, “We are delighted to welcome Kyle to the firm. His tax expertise will enhance our ability to advise on existing corporate and finance transactions capabilities, where we see tremendous opportunity for us to continue strengthening and expanding how we serve clients around the globe.”

Jinal Shah, UK managing partner at BCLP, said, “Following two partner hires in the Energy, Environment and Infrastructure practice group in London earlier this year, Kyle’s appointment marks yet another advancement in our ongoing pursuit of top-tier talent. With his wealth of experience, commercial insight and comprehensive understanding of all tax elements, Kyle is a strategic addition to our Tax practice and our platform more broadly.”
