Bingham Tax Lawyers move in-house: Hartman Blanchard joins Morgan Stanley and Brad Whitehurst moves to Energy Transfer

Bingham sees yet more departures with tax partners Hartman Blanchard (pictured) and Bradford Whitehurst leaving.

There is a connection between the two, because they both came from McKee Nelson, which merged with Bingham in 2009. Interestingly, they have both moved in-house – perhaps a sign of frustration with the law firm model ?

Hartman is now Head of US Federal Tax Controversy (Exec Director) at Morgan Stanley, having joined the bank last month.

Brad has joined Energy Transfer in Dallas as Executive VP, Head of Tax. Energy Transfer is a Texas-based company that began in 1995 as a small intrastate natural gas pipeline operator and is now one of the largest and most diversified investment grade master limited partnerships in the United States. Brad sits within one of the 4 publicly traded partnerships, Energy Transfer Equity.

Other tax partners who have left Bingham recently include Matthew Schnall and Daniel Nelson.
