US taxes: non-contentious

The non-contentious tax group at Morrison Foerster has a wealth of experience in advising multinational companies, investors, non-profit organizations, private equity sponsors, and hedge and real estate funds on the full spectrum of corporate tax matters, complex capital markets work, operational tax planning, and general business and transactional matters. The practice is led by Anthony Carbone in New York, who specializes in high-profile bankruptcy matters, a broad range of securities offerings, and corporate finance transactions. Bernie Pistillo in San Francisco has strong expertise in tax controversies and international M&A and restructurings. In San Diego, Shane Shelley advises REITs and real estate, renewable energy, and financial services clients on sophisticated tax matters. The ‘extremely talented’ David Sturgeon in Los Angeles handles a wide variety of tax work for the tech, real estate, and financial services sectors. Joy MacIntyre and Katherine Erbeznik have departed the firm. Richard Nugent joined the team in April 2025 from Jones Day, and now chairs the global tax practice.
