Bryant Lee and Bora Bozkurt have been promoted to tax partners at Latham & Watkins.

Effective January 1 2019, the two appointments are part of the firm’s annual promotion cycle.

Lee and Bozkurt both specialise in US federal income taxation.

Lee advises publicly traded partnerships, master limited partnerships, corporations, private equity firms, and investment banks involved in the energy sector on various transactions, including M&A, restructurings, and capital markets offerings.

Bozkurt focused on a range of cross-border and domestic transactions, including financing transactions, derivatives, private and registered securities offerings, cross-border tax planning and restructuring, and other structured finance transactions. Although he advises on US federal income taxation, he specialises in transactions involving international and corporate tax.
