KPMG adds to M&A practice in Denver and Houston

KPMG in the US has boosted its M&A tax practice with appointments in Denver and Houston.

John Carpenter joins the Denver practice as partner from First Data Corp, where he served as vice president of tax planning.

In addition to serving key clients in the Denver area, he will support teams assisting private equity clients in the San Francisco market.

Barbara (Spudis) de Marigny has joined the firm’s Houston M&A tax practice as a managing director.

De Marigny joins from Gardere Wynne Sewell and will focus on providing M&A-related assistance involving partnership alternatives, as well as serving private equity firms and clients seeking counsel on partnership formations, reorganisations, or conversions.
