Houlihan Lokey Hires Steinberg to Lead Global Tax Restructuring Practice

Date: Jun 07, 2022 @ 08:02 AM

Houlihan Lokey announced that Howard Steinberg has joined the firm as a Managing Director and Global Head of Tax Restructuring within its Financial and Valuation Advisory business. He is based in New York.

Steinberg joins following a 33-year distinguished career at KPMG, most recently as Global Head of Restructuring, Tax, and Legal for KPMG International, where he led tax structuring and due diligence services for global corporate and financial clients. Prior roles at KPMG also include serving as Partner in Charge for both the M&A Tax and Tax Restructuring Services groups at KPMG U.S. Over the course of his career, he has advised on numerous multibillion-dollar M&A transactions and high-profile distressed situations, including many of the largest and most complex bankruptcies and out-of-court restructurings in U.S. history.
 
“We could not be more delighted that Howard has joined our firm,” said Drew Koecher, Global Co-Head of Financial and Valuation Advisory at Houlihan Lokey. “Howard and I have worked together extensively during the past 20 years. His tax expertise and extraordinary track record in many of the largest global restructurings and M&A transactions, several alongside our leading Financial Restructuring team, is well known. Howard is the perfect addition to our rapidly growing M&A tax and restructuring advisory teams as we continue to expand the scope of tax services we provide to our global client base. Howard’s leadership, team values, and commercial focus on exceptional client outcomes make for an excellent cultural fit with Houlihan Lokey.”
 
“I’m thrilled to join Houlihan Lokey and help further establish the firm as a global leader in tax advisory,” said Steinberg. “The opportunity to team on M&A and restructuring transactions with our leading global financial restructuring, capital markets, and corporate finance colleagues is tremendous. I look forward to leading the development of our global and U.S. restructuring tax teams and building on the impressive momentum that Houlihan Lokey has achieved in this practice to date,” he added.  
 
“As we strive to continuously enhance the suite of services Houlihan Lokey delivers to its clients, Howard’s deep expertise in a wide range of distressed situations will be beneficial to our Financial Restructuring clients around the world.  We are excited to partner with him and add this expertise to our market-leading platform,” said David Hilty, Global Co-Head of Houlihan Lokey’s Financial Restructuring Group.
 
Steinberg holds a B.A. from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA with distinction from Columbia University. He is also a licensed CPA in New York and a Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisor (CIRA).
