About Daniel Lewin

Daniel Lewin’s wide-ranging tax practice spans many industries, including corporate, finance, technology, investment management and family offices. Daniel also has particular experience advising on sponsor, investor and investment fund structuring for private equity, venture capital, hedge, debt, infrastructure and sovereign wealth funds.

He regularly provides transaction support for cross-border transactions including acquisitions, disposals, financings and joint ventures, delivering successful results for his London and international clients by instructing and coordinating with foreign counsel, and closely liaising with the client’s commercial needs.

Incredibly personable, collaborative and forward-thinking

Daniel’s strong focus on investment funds and familiarity with standard onshore and offshore jurisdictions, including the United States, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Channel and Cayman Islands positions him to give sound structuring guidance on all aspects of investment management across multiple jurisdictions, including establishing the fund management vehicle, tax-efficient management group setup and fund formation. Clients can also rely on Daniel to counsel them on tax-efficient financing structures for UK and international loans, real estate finance, securitizations, treaty relief and subsidiary structures, early to later stage venture capital financings and mitigation of tax withholdings.

In addition to his work related to investment funds, Daniel advises family offices and high-net-worth individuals on various personal and investment tax matters related to UK tax residency, non-domiciliary (remittance basis) taxation, UK or offshore investments and co-investments, board composition and residence, offshore trust structures and compliance issues.
