Aldrin De Zilva has joined the White & Case partnership, where he will work as part of the firm’s global tax practice.
According to a statement provided by White & Case, Mr De Zilva also brings expertise in tax litigation, representing clients at all stages of the tax investigations and litigation process.
“Our global tax practice is recognised globally for its forward-thinking approach on tax issues and precedent-setting firsts in structuring transactional matters,” said White & Case partner Kim Boylan, head of the firm’s global tax practice.
“Aldrin is a highly regarded tax practitioner with significant experience in both tax advisory and tax litigation matters and is perfectly positioned to assist clients in Australia and support the growth of our tax offering in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Commenting further, White & Case partner Andrew Clark, regional section head Asia-Pacific EIPAF and disputes, said the admission of Mr De Zilva to the firm’s partnership “significantly strengthens” its ability to provide a full service offering to clients in Australia.
“Aldrin has a strong track record and client base in the infrastructure sector and this experience perfectly complements one of the key industry focuses of our Australian practice,” Mr Clark added.
Meanwhile, partner Donald Baker, who is also a member of White & Case’s global executive committee, said the appointment of Mr De Zilva coincides with the firm’s strategy to strengthen its capabilities and scope across Australia and the rest of the APAC market.
“We are continuing to grow our Australian practice with Aldrin’s admission to the partnership following the recent addition of experienced commercial litigation partner Kate Perumal in Sydney," Mr Baker said.
“These investments, coupled with the addition of M&A partner Dongho Lee in Seoul in April, demonstrate our continued commitment to growing our capabilities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region more widely.”
