RSM UK has made two hires in its transactions tax team led by James Hunt, appointing Alistair Haley as partner and Andrew Parker as director, both based in London.
Haley has nearly 25 years’ experience as a tax advisor, specialising in large corporate and private equity transactions.
Prior to joining RSM, he was a director with KPMG in Australia and then a partner in the UK, where he led the London financial services M&A tax practice and subsequently broadened his remit to private equity, supporting various types of investors on acquisitions, disposals, IPOs and mergers.
At RSM he will provide tax structuring and due diligence advice on PE investments across a broad range of industries, as part of the wider deal services offering.
Meanwhile, Parker was previously a partner at Deloitte, advising large corporates, PE funds and real estate investors on all aspects of M&A transactions. This includes structuring acquisitions and disposals, leading due diligence assignments, and refinancing transactions.
Haley said: “I’m excited to be joining at a time when RSM has experienced a surge in market share, and amid an uptick in deal activity over recent months. This is a huge opportunity, especially in London, where many UK PE funds are headquartered. I’m keen to apply my skills and knowledge to attracting new clients, particularly those handling complex structures across US and European markets.”
James Hunt, partner and head of transactions tax at RSM UK, added: “I’m thrilled to welcome both Alistair and Andrew to RSM. Their wealth of experience working on complex, cross-border transactions for many years in Big Four firms will immediately add capability and capacity to the team to deliver on the increasing demand we are seeing for our services.”
RSM has 5,420 partners and staff operating from 29 locations throughout the UK. For the year ending 31 March 2024, RSM generated revenues in excess of £543m.
