Travers Smith LLP is delighted to have been awarded the 'Tax Adviser' Award at The Drawdown Awards 2025.
The Drawdown Awards 2025 celebrates achievements for advisers and solution providers supporting European private fund operations during the previous calendar year.
The 'Tax Adviser' award recognises the team's achievements in exceptional client growth, satisfaction and product innovation and guiding the world's largest asset managers through a constantly evolving tax landscape. In addition to their work acting for asset managers on fundraisings and investment transactions (including the tax aspects of liquidity solutions such as LP and GP-led secondaries), the Travers Smith team advise institutional investors on the tax risks associated with their investments into alternative assets as well as asset manager on the complex tax issues affecting their businesses, from tax enquiries to restructurings, succession planning and management spin-outs. The team's clients include the full spectrum of alternative private capital managers from global multi-strategy houses to European based start-up teams.
Elena Rowlands, partner, commented:
"We are delighted to have won this Drawdown Award. Asset management is at the heart of our business and the award is a testament to the work of our market leading and expert asset management practice which is dedicated to servicing the needs of our asset management clients. We look forward to continuing to advise our clients and contribute to their ongoing success."

"This award underscores the market leading position of our asset management tax team, and the firm's wider asset management platform. It is particularly pleasing to see that our involvement in industry's response to the Government's consultation on the taxation of carried interest has contributed to this award. As I celebrate joining the Travers Smith partnership, I am proud to be leading a talented team whose dedication and collaboration make achievements like this possible."
