By Brooks Igo – (July 7) – Bracewell & Giuliani announced recently that it added tax expert Robert Jacobson as a partner in the firm’s Houston office. He was previously an associate at Vinson & Elkins.
Jacobson said he was drawn to the firm by the opportunity to join forces with excellent tax lawyers he has worked with before and its solid client list.
“Bracewell is busy in the energy market,” said Jacobson, who was on the team that advised PVR Partners in its $5.6 billion merger with Regency Energy Partners and Susser Petroleum Partners in its 2012 IPO. “There is plenty of meaningful work with great clients.”
The University of Texas School of Law graduate has experience in mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations and capital markets transactions, with a focus on master limited partnerships (MLPs). He said he is asked often by clients whether a potential acquisition can be put in an MLP structure.
“Robert’s strong tax background and experience handling MLP transactions will further the firm’s capabilities to assist our clients,” Bracewell Managing Partner Mark C. Evans said in a statement.
In addition to his tax practice, Jacobson has provided assistance to 501(c)(3) organizations such as Pearland, Texas-based Women for the Cause.
