Kramer Levin Managing Partner Paul S. Pearlman said: “We are excited to welcome Mayer to the firm. His tremendous expertise in managing the tax aspects of complex transactions will make him a valuable asset to a wide array of clients, including our growing roster of REIT clients.”

“There are numerous synergies between Mayer’s tax practice and Kramer Levin’s corporate, real estate and restructuring practices,” said Tax chair Barry Herzog. “His extensive experience in these areas will enable him to hit the ground running.”

“I am delighted to join the highly talented attorneys at Kramer Levin, who have always stood out for their intellect, integrity and deep commitment to their clients,” Mr. Greenberg said. “I am looking forward to helping the firm’s diverse roster of clients navigate the complex and ever-changing tax environment.”
