Sidley Adds Tax Partner in New York
Audry X. Casusol has joined Sidley Austin LLP as a partner in its Tax and Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice in the New York office. Formerly a partner with Greenberg Traurig LLP, Casusol represents public and private companies and private equity clients based in the United States and around the world in their executive compensation and governance matters.
In a release, the firm said Casusol concentrates her practice on executive compensation and employee benefits, primarily related to mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, IPOs, restructurings and spin-offs. She advises boards of directors, compensation committees and management on compensation arrangements, administrative and regulatory compliance with tax, employment and securities laws, corporate governance and disclosure obligations regarding employee benefits, executive compensation and related matters. In her practice on employee benefits and executive compensation matters, she also has experience with convertible securities, debt/equity exchanges, effect of tax treaties and other uniquely structured entities.
“Audry has repeatedly been lauded for her work, notably when it comes to M&A matters, and she’ll be a welcome addition to our firm,” said Sam Gandhi, managing partner of Sidley’s New York office. “Additionally, her deep understanding of corporate governance and executive compensation and employment benefits will make her a sought-after resource for clients navigating a complicated and quickly evolving landscape.”
