Kiran Sheffrin Featured as a 2024 Tax “Rising Star” by Law360

On July 17, 2024, Cravath of counsel Kiran Sheffrin was featured as part of Law360’s 2024 “Rising Stars” series as one of the top tax attorneys in the nation under the age of 40. The related profile highlights Kiran’s representation of clients such as Anheuser‑Busch InBev and Valvoline on multibillion‑dollar deals, as well as Mylan in its $50 billion combination with Upjohn to create global pharmaceutical company Viatris.

Kiran noted that she was drawn to tax law because of its dynamism and critical role in the business world. “Although I work on a lot of deals,” she told Law360, “my attitude is that I want to learn something new from every deal and become a better adviser to my clients.” Asked to contemplate how tax law will evolve in the next decade, Kiran reflected on potential changes to tax regimes around the world and the shifting role of tax lawyers and advisors, adding that “clients have to rely on us to get them through these uncertain and ever‑changing times and not only help them analyze the technical issues but also be a sounding board when there is no clear answer or guidance for them to follow.”
