Kristin V. Taylor advises businesses, investment fund managers, family offices, and tax-exempt organizations on the full spectrum of transactional tax matters. She structures domestic and cross-border transactions―including mergers and acquisitions, fund formations, joint ventures, securitizations, and real estate investments―to achieve optimal tax outcomes. Recognized by Chambers USA for Tax in New Jersey, she translates complex tax analysis into actionable strategies for every stage of growth.
Kristin’s practice centers on the intersection of private investment management and private wealth. She counsels fund sponsors and their investors on domestic and offshore fund architecture, management company arrangements, UBTI for tax-exempt limited partners, and effectively connected income planning for non-U.S. investors, as well as digital asset fund structures and the tax considerations of cryptocurrency and blockchain-based strategies.
Single- and multi-family offices turn to Kristin for the tax and structural issues that arise as families organize, invest, and plan for succession. She regularly advises private equity and venture capital fund principals on the personal tax planning dimensions of their fund economics, including carried interest, co-investment structures, and qualified small business stock (QSBS).
She also counsels tax-exempt organizations, including private foundations, supporting organizations, and social welfare entities, on formation, governance, operational compliance, and UBTI planning. Drawing on this experience, Kristin helps family offices coordinate charitable giving vehicles, donor-advised funds, and mission-driven investments within their broader wealth strategies.
Beyond her transactional practice, Kristin is committed to pro bono service, having represented the National Women's Law Center, Beyond Type 1, and BrightStreet Financial. She speaks and writes regularly on tax matters affecting private investment funds, family offices, and tax-exempt organizations.
