Former Treasury Official Rejoins Covington’s Tax Group

Lindsay Kitzinger, a former Treasury Department official who worked on implementing international provisions of the 2017 tax law, has rejoined Covington & Burling LLP.

Kitzinger recently departed Treasury, where she served as an attorney-advisor in the Office of International Tax Counsel within the Office of Tax Policy, Covington announced in an Oct. 1 news release.

• Kitzinger—who worked at Covington prior to her tenure in the government—will return as a partner in the Tax Practice Group in Washington, the firm said.
• “Given her role in drafting much of the international tax guidance coming from the Treasury in the past few years, she has a nuanced understanding of what has become an extremely complicated landscape of overlapping rules and regulations,” Daniel Luchsinger, chair of Covington’s Tax Practice Group, said in the news release.
• The firm’s announcement also touted Kitzinger’s work on tax treaties and experience as the main contact point within Treasury for international tax issues arising in the G-7, G-20, and other international assemblies.
