BOSTON and NEW YORK - Mintz is pleased to announce the addition of two Corporate Members: Richard (Rich) Williams joined the firm’s Tax practice in New York and Patrick Gallagher joined the Real Estate practice in Boston. Together, Rich and Patrick further strengthen Mintz’s transactional platform, bringing sophisticated counsel to clients across key markets and sectors. 

Rich has experience in a wide range of federal income tax matters, including domestic and international mergers, acquisitions and dispositions, public and private financings, and both cross-border and general strategic tax planning. Rich has counseled high net worth individuals, family offices, private equity sponsors, founders and businesses across a wide array of industries around the world. 

“I am thrilled to be a part of Mintz's outstanding transactional platform,” said Rich. “The firm’s collaborative approach make it an ideal place to continue delivering strategic, business-focused tax counsel to help clients navigate complex transactions and strategic initiatives."

Patrick counsels clients on a broad range of commercial real estate transactions and development matters, including acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, sale-leasebacks, land use, and permitting. He represents property owners, developers, investors, and other stakeholders nationwide across asset classes such as multifamily, office, life sciences, industrial, hospitality, condominium, and solar properties, offering practical guidance throughout the full life cycle of real estate assets.

“I am excited to join the firm and work alongside such a talented group of attorneys to help clients capitalize on opportunities and address the complex challenges facing today’s commercial real estate market," said Patrick.

These additions come on the heels of Melinda Roberts joining as a Member in the IP Litigation practice in New York last week, continuing the firm’s strategic growth in life sciences and patent litigation.
