Geoffrey M Davis

Career

Geoff Davis has an extensive federal tax practice that includes acquisition and divestiture transactions, restructuring and financing transactions, and fund formation and related investments. Geoff also routinely handles a wide spectrum of tax controversy matters.

Geoff’s background has provided him with an invaluable foundation for his law practice in tax. He began his career as a CPA and international tax practitioner with Price Waterhouse and later clerked in federal district court. Geoff then successfully practiced as a commercial litigator for several years before re-focusing on tax and transactional work. He therefore recognizes what businesses need financially to be successful (and how legal issues may affect their bottom line) and understands the inner workings of the Court (and what his clients will need to achieve their goals when tax issues arise).

Geoff is co-chair of the firm’s Tax Practice, and an integral member of many of the firm’s practice specialty groups, including Corporate, M&A, Bankruptcy & Restructuring. He serves clients in a variety of industry specialty areas, including aerospace, energy, financial services, food and beverage, government contracts, hospitality, manufacturing companies, pharmaceutical, real estate, and cannabis companies. In addition, Geoff serves on the firm's Finance, Pro Bono, and Opinion Committees and has taught tax courses as an adjunct professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law and at John Marshall Law School.
