Ms. Lane has nearly 20 years of experience in banking,

a qualified solicitor and started her career in tax with
Linklaters. In her new role at FTI Consulting, she will lead the
Tax team’s financial services group.
Mr. Scholes has more than 25 years of experience in UK and
international tax. Prior to FTI Consulting, he served as the Head
of Financing and Treasury Tax in KPMG’s International Tax and
Treasury practice, where he advised inbound and UK outbound clients
on all aspects of group financing and international structuring.
From 2001 to 2010, Mr. Scholes managed the UK and international tax
teams at BNP Paribas. Mr. Scholes has extensive experience in
international tax and spent four years in Paris working for banks
and other multinationals on all aspects of UK taxation. In his new
role at FTI Consulting, Mr. Scholes will lead the team’s treasury
tax services.
Mr. Tausig has 14 years of experience in advising multinational
insurance groups on tax and capital efficient group structures, UK
and U.S.-controlled foreign company rules, and overall tax
strategy. He also has a wealth of experience advising private
equity firms and insurance groups on acquisitions, providing tax
due diligence and structuring advice. Mr. Tausig has significant
international experience, having worked in both London and New
York. Prior to FTI Consulting, Mr. Tausig held responsibility for
KPMG’s Lloyd’s and London Market Tax practice. In his new role at
FTI Consulting, Mr. Tausig will lead the firm’s insurance tax
offering.

European Tax Advisory practice at FTI Consulting, said, “I am
delighted to welcome such a highly regarded and experienced group
of professionals to our firm. Their appointments reflect the
significant growth and progress we have made in recent years as we
position FTI Consulting as a leading independent provider of
