Pillsbury SALT is excited to welcome Lauren Durborow to the team!
Lauren’s experience includes variety of state and local tax matters, including multistate litigation, planning, audit defense and controversy issues.
She joins Pillsbury’s New York office as an associate.
5 Questions with Lauren:
1. Who inspires you?
My family (and my friends that are like family) – I would not be where I am today without their support and words of wisdom along the way.
2. What drew you to the law?
I have always enjoyed research and writing as well as helping people. For me, law was the intersection of those interests.
3. What aspect of State and Local Tax law do you find most interesting?
I was actually an English major in college and have always had more of a “right sided” brain. In previous role at KPMG (my first role out of law school), I was introduced to the world of SALT for the first time by incredibly talented mentors who taught and encouraged me to use that side of by brain to think creatively and “outside the box” about SALT law and potential solutions for clients under those laws. I enjoy that the complexities of SALT law allow for that kind of creative thinking in addition to analytical thinking.
4. How do you re-center yourself?
Hanging out with friends and family, particularly down the Jersey Shore during the summer, where my family has had a house since I was born.
5. What is your go-to comfort food? Any interesting facts?
I played rugby in college.
