Elizabeth A. Andrews

Elizabeth Andrews spent years designing international tax structures at Marriott International before crossing to the other side of the table and discovering how rarely elegant tax plans survive contact with the realities of cross-border implementation. That experience shapes everything about how she practices.

Today her practice at DLA Piper focuses on the legal implementation of complex cross-border transactions: acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, post-acquisition integrations, and legal entity rationalization programs across dozens of jurisdictions. She works primarily with clients in the life sciences and financial services sectors.

Clients describe her as having "a very unique skill set that is often difficult to find in a law firm," with "great project management skills and a deep understanding of the tax function" and as someone who "communicates in real time in a manner that is clear, crisp and concise."
