Nelson Suit is Of Counsel to Burt, Staples & Maner, LLP,
and Tax Counsel at Compliance Technologies International, LLP.
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Suit had pursued an active tax
career that focused on international tax law, in particular as
it affects financial services businesses. He has experience
working with a wide range of substantive tax and tax compliance
rules affecting cross-border investments for different investor types.
Mr. Suit was previously Director, Financial Products and Fund Tax at
Wellington Management Company, LLP, an investment manager based in
Boston, where he oversaw tax review for investments made by the firm,
provided key tax input on the tax structure for the launch of new
sponsored products and advised with respect to a broad range of
international tax and financial products tax issues, including
withholding tax and tax issues affecting cross-border derivatives.
Prior to his almost 6 years at Wellington, Mr. Suit had run his own
Boston law practice focused on cross-border tax, business and
immigration issues (2004-2006) and had been a senior manager in
the international tax services group at PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP in Boston, with a focus on financial services clients (2000-2004).
Mr. Suit had also practiced with the international law firms of White & Case,
LLP in New York (1994-1997) and Singapore (1999-2000) and Baker & McKenzie
in Hong Kong (1997-1999) where he worked with a range of clients from banks
to private equity investment firms to other multinational businesses.
In projects involving both tax analysis and planning (often requiring
taking into account the laws of multiple jurisdictions) as well as
transactional work, he gained perspective on tax systems and client
viewpoints outside the U.S.
He has contributed to articles in tax journals on international tax
issues and has spoken in various forums on technical international
tax subjects, including cross-border tax issues faced by investment
partnerships, taxation of foreign currency transactions and foreign
investment in U.S. real estate.
