Andrew Carlon is a partner in Cadwalader’s Tax Department. His practice focuses on assisting clients with the tax aspects of mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. He regularly advises on private company acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures, taxable and tax-free public company transactions, cross-border restructurings, and spin-offs, including pro rata spin-offs, split-offs, Morris Trust spin-merge transactions and IPO-spin combinations.

In addition to his M&A work, Carlon also routinely advises on both public debt and equity offerings (representing both underwriters and issuers) and syndicated lending transactions (representing both banks and borrowers).

Andrew received a B.S.F.S., magna cum laude, from Georgetown University in 2003 and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2007, where he was an articles editor of the Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif. At Virginia, he was also awarded the Roger and Madeleine Traynor Prize and the Robert E. Goldsten Award for Distinction in the Classroom. Following graduation, Andrew served as a law clerk to Hon. Milan D. Smith, Jr. of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in El Segundo, California.
