His tax expertise and extraordinary track record in many of the largest global restructurings and M&A transactions, several alongside our leading Financial Restructuring team, is well known. Howard is the perfect addition to our rapidly growing M&A tax and restructuring advisory teams as we continue to expand the scope of tax services we provide to our global client base. Howard’s leadership, team values, and commercial focus on exceptional client outcomes make for an excellent cultural fit with Houlihan Lokey.”

“I’m thrilled to join Houlihan Lokey and help further establish the firm as a global leader in tax advisory,” said Mr. Steinberg. “The opportunity to team on M&A and restructuring transactions with our leading global financial restructuring, capital markets, and corporate finance colleagues is tremendous. I look forward to leading the development of our global and U.S. restructuring tax teams and building on the impressive momentum that Houlihan Lokey has achieved in this practice to date,” he added.
