SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP expanded its Tax Practice with the addition of Shareholder Zakhar "Zak" Morozov in the San Francisco office. He joins from Kirkland & Ellis LLP.

Morozov focuses on federal income tax matters, with an emphasis on tax structuring and deal support for corporate mergers and acquisitions.

Michelle Ferreira said. "His practical understanding of deal structuring, transaction documentation, and the tax issues facing private equity sponsors and portfolio companies further strengthens our ability to provide strategic, business-focused tax advice to clients across a wide range of industries."

Morozov's arrival enhances Greenberg Traurig's national Tax Practice and expands the firm's capabilities in the Bay Area, a key market for technology companies, private equity sponsors, and other businesses engaged in complex domestic and cross-border transactions. His cross-industry transactional tax experience also positions him to support clients pursuing platform investments, add-on acquisitions, and other growth strategies across sectors.

"I am excited to join Greenberg Traurig and collaborate with its talented tax and corporate teams," Morozov said. "The firm's global platform, entrepreneurial culture, and commitment to client service create a compelling environment to help clients achieve their business goals."
