Tollis co-heads Gide's New York office and leads the firm’s US tax practice. Admitted to the New York and New Jersey Bars in 2001 and 2000 respectively, she specialises in the US tax aspects of cross-border transactions, both inbound and outbound, and has more than 16 years’ experience. She advises a range of US and foreign clients on tax planning for starting or expanding operations abroad or in the US market, including through mergers, acquisitions, reorganisations, and joint ventures, and she advises both participants and sponsors in the global capital markets on securities offerings and tax-efficient structured finance, including cross-border securitisations.
