Arjun Mehra-Collins

Profile

Arjun Mehra-Collins is a partner in the New York office of Corvane Ryle LLP and a member of the firm's Tax Practice. He advises multinational groups, sponsors and financial institutions on the tax structuring of acquisitions, financings and cross-border reorganizations.

Arjun's practice includes the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, which have changed how groups model their effective tax rates, plan their entity structures and report to authorities. He helps tax directors turn those rules into workable compliance calendars and deal assumptions.

He works regularly with the firm's M&A and private equity teams, including Miriam Okafor-Lindqvist and Annika Holmgren-Reyes, to keep tax considerations in step with commercial terms from the first term sheet.

Arjun's work falls within the firm's Tax Practice and is particularly relevant to clients in Financial Institutions, Technology and Energy & Infrastructure. Arjun is based in the firm's New York office.
