Eversheds Sutherland welcomes back Todd Betor to tax practice

He had previously worked with the firm from 2013 to 2021

The global multinational law firm Eversheds Sutherland has announced the re-joining of Todd G. Betor as a partner in the firm's tax practice group.

He will join New York-based State and Local Tax (SALT) partners Ted Friedman and recently elected Liz Cha.

An integral part of the leading SALT practice, in addition to providing multistate advice to the clients, he focuses on consulting on New York tax issues, state tax consequences of mergers and acquisitions, and tax accounting considerations of SALT positions.

Mark D. Wasserman, the co-CEO of Eversheds Sutherland commented, "We are excited to have Betor back at the firm. His return will add to our leading SALT practice and his experience with SALT issues associated with transactions will benefit our current and prospective clients."

Robert S. Chase, the US tax practice group leader stated, "Betor has developed a unique practice involving the SALT implications of mergers and acquisitions, as well as divestitures, internal reorganizations, and restructurings, which clients have a substantial need for in the current market. He also has a deep understanding and background in federal income tax concepts, which allows him to serve our tax clients more broadly."

Jeffrey A. Friedman, the head of Eversheds Sutherland's SALT practice group said, "Betor is a talented SALT attorney, and a good friend. As we continue to grow and recruit top tax lawyers, Betor's focus on growing a SALT transaction advisory practice will greatly complement the skills and services of the group. Clients in New York and throughout the country will be well served by his deep state tax experience."

Betor concentrates his practice on the tax aspects of complex business transactions. He advises multinational corporations and technology startups and private equity and leveraged buyout funds and their portfolio companies. He also counsels clients on a broad range of US tax matters, including the federal, international, and SALT implications of M&A transactions and internal restructurings.

He represents clients in tax controversy and litigation matters and advises on employment tax withholding, resident status, and other state tax issues for clients with mobile, global workforces. His state tax practice includes an emphasis on instructing clients on the impact of federal tax provisions on state taxation including GILTI, FDII, and code sections 163(j), 172, and 338.
