Ofer Lion, partner in Seyfarth's Corporate department and Tax practice in Los Angeles, has been elected as a fellow to the American College of Tax Counsel (ACTC). The College provides recognition to leading members of the Bar who have made significant contributions to the understanding and improvement of the tax system.
Lion represents nonprofits and tax-exempt organizations in a wide range of tax, transactional, corporate, governance, and fiduciary matters, including formation, mergers and acquisitions, executive compensation, international activities and affiliations, unrelated business taxable income, joint ventures, program-related investments, political activities and lobbying, audits and tax controversies, tax return review, tax-exempt bonds, and dissolutions.
The ACTC, formed in 1981, is limited to a maximum of 700 tax attorneys across the United States. Membership in the College is an honor reserved for those at the top of their chosen profession. The College's members, called "Fellows," are tax lawyers working in private law firms and in house legal departments, teaching tax in law schools, or working in federal or state revenue agencies. They are recognized for their extraordinary accomplishments and professional achievements and for their dedication to improving the practice of tax law. Fellows must be nominated by their peers for this honor. You can read more here.
