Eversheds Sutherland Rehires Taylor Kiessig as a Tax Partner
Eversheds Sutherland has rehired Taylor Kiessig as a partner in its Tax Practice Group in Washington, D.C., following his tenure as Special Counsel at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel (International).
Eversheds Sutherland announced the return of Taylor Kiessig to its Tax Practice Group, where he will focus on federal and international tax matters. Kiessig previously worked at the firm from 2014, was promoted to partner in 2018, and then joined the Internal Revenue Service.
At the IRS, Kiessig contributed to key international tax guidance and policy initiatives. His recent public service included recognition through the IRS Chief Counsel National Award and participation in the 2024 Treasury Legal Team of the Year. His work emphasized technical guidance and regulatory development in cross-border taxation.
In his new role, Kiessig will advise companies across industries including technology, energy, and financial services on international tax compliance, planning, and structuring. His responsibilities include counseling clients on audit readiness and the implications of evolving global tax rules.
The firm highlighted Kiessig’s dual experience in private practice and government service as a strategic asset amid increased scrutiny in international tax law. His return follows the firm’s recent expansion in tax capabilities, which included 29 new attorneys in 2025 and three new tax partners effective January 2026.
