Jeffrey Rubinger and Summer LePree Join Winston in Miami

Winston & Strawn recently announced the addition of Jeffrey Rubinger and Summer LePree to the firm’s Miami office, where they joined as partners in the Tax Practice. 

Jeff is a highly experienced lawyer with over 25 years of international tax experience. He has advised clients in diverse industries, including financial services, technology, manufacturing, real estate, investment funds, and family offices. Jeff applies a vast and deep knowledge of complex cross-border tax laws in a variety of jurisdictions (including countries in South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East) to advise U.S. companies expanding overseas as well as foreign businesses investing in the U.S. He has also served as tax counsel on federal, state, and local tax issues involving corporate reorganizations, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations.

Summer’s practice is focused on advising U.S.- and foreign-based public and private companies in connection with their inbound and outbound U.S. international tax planning. She constantly monitors developments in U.S. and global tax laws and thoughtfully advises clients on the relevant implications for their businesses. Summer regularly assists clients with Subpart F, GILTI, and FDII planning; FIRPTA issues; treaty planning and analysis; and overall structuring for tax optimization. She serves as the ABA Tax Section’s Council Director for the International Committees.

“Jeff and Summer’s combined tax backgrounds will prove to be an invaluable resource for our clients,” said Miami Office Managing Partner Enrique J. Martin in the press release announcing their arrival. “Tax issues are a key factor in the design and success of corporate transactions. That is particularly true for cross-border deals, where their ability to quickly navigate the complex tax laws of various jurisdictions will be especially valuable to our clients.”
