PricewaterhouseCoopers has appointed
Michael Spielman as a tax partner in its personal financial services practice - within the private company services group - for the New York market.

Spielman has over 15 years of experience working with
individual clients, including family business owners, corporate executives,
financial services clients and other high net worth individuals. Based in New York City, the firm said he will focus
on expanding the practice's global footprint.

"His global perspective, grounded in his work in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, makes him a valuable addition as we help our clients navigate an increasingly complex global wealth landscape," said Brittney Saks, partner and US leader of PwC's personal financial services practice.

Prior
to joining PwC, Spielman served as Americas leader for individual global tax planning
at Ernst & Young. Before that, he was a practicing tax attorney for
over a decade. He also has extensive experience in domestic and international
inbound mergers and acquisitions tax matters, for public and private equity
clients.

PwC's personal financial services group works with around 60 per cent of the
companies on the Forbes list of America's largest private firms. The unit
employs some 1,800 financial planning professionals who specialize in the
affairs of HNW individuals and their families.
