Overview

Christina N. White advises private equity firms, public companies, private companies and family-owned businesses on the federal income tax aspects of business transactions, helping clients address complex tax issues at every stage of the business life cycle. Based in Jacksonville, she structures taxable and tax-free transactions, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), reorganizations, divestitures, initial public offerings (IPOs) and spinoffs.

Christina helps clients select and implement transaction structures that support their business goals.

Before joining Holland & Knight, she worked in the M&A transaction services group at a Big Four accounting firm, where she advised private equity and strategic clients on complex corporate structuring and tax due diligence. That background gives Christina a practical, numbers-oriented perspective on how tax analysis fits into the broader deal process.

While in law school, she was a staff editor of the Florida State University Law Review and executive editor of the Florida State University Business Review. Combining law firm and accounting firm experience, Christina helps clients approach transactions with both technical precision and a clear view of their commercial objectives.
