Kimberly J. Pinter, whose previous roles include working for the Department of Treasury under President Donald Trump and serving as Senator Ted Cruz’s legislative counsel on tax and economic policy, has joined Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group. Pinter will leverage her background working with legislative tax and economic policy matters on Capitol Hill, and with budget and economic issues at the Treasury Department, to assist clients in several sectors.
Pinter’s perspective is especially valuable in the energy tax policy space, Bracewell’s E. Dee Martin told Law360, which is evolving rapidly. Martin also noted Pinter’s experience working with corporate tax issues will be a big boon for the firm’s clients.
“Many of our clients are multinational corporations, and they are foreign direct investors into the United States,” Martin said. “And so Kimberly’s background in corporate tax and manufacturing is a critical element here – and that demand is growing, and it intersects with trade, which Kimberly also does.”
