Mayer Brown has hired two partners, Thomas Humphreys and Remmelt Reigersman, to work in its offices in New York and California, respectively.

Both Humphreys and Reigersman join the firm from Morrison & Foerster (MoFo). Humphreys was the head of tax and the co-chair of the federal tax group at Morrison & Foerster for more than 12 years, where Reigersman served as a partner.

Humphreys has extensive experience with the tax aspects of capital markets, financial instruments, real estate investment trusts and M&A deals. He advises a wide range of clients, including investment banks, and is an adjunct professor of law at New York University Law School, where he teaches taxation of financial instruments.

Reigersman focuses on sophisticated capital markets transactions and often represents issuers, financial institutions and investors. His expertise covers everything from public offerings and structured products to private equity and hybrid securities.
