Sutherland adds two new partners to insurance tax group

Dennis Allen and Kristan Rizzolo have joined Sutherland Asbill & Brennan as partners in the firm’s Washington DC insurance tax practice after holding similar roles at Dewey & LeBoeuf.

Allen is not a newcomer to Sutherland. He began his legal career at the firm advising insurance companies, insurance intermediaries and commercial clients on tax and insurance law matters related to M&A, company restructuring and tax disputes as well as insurance and reinsurance products.

Rizzolo also has extensive experience in domestic and international tax planning, M&A, cross-border transactions and offshore insurance arrangements. She is a leading adviser to insurance companies on a variety of federal tax and insurance law matters and regularly advises clients on the development of insurance and reinsurance products.
