Exceptional Tax Attorney Who Navigated a Complex Corporate Restructuring

Our company faced a daunting multi-state corporate restructuring with significant tax implications. We engaged Elizabeth Smith at Skadden Arps based on her reputation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Her 16 years of experience, particularly her deep knowledge of tax law that earned her recognition by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. Elizabeth meticulously analyzed our structure, explaining the nuances of both federal and Massachusetts tax codes with remarkable clarity. She anticipated challenges we hadn't considered and crafted a strategy that not only achieved our operational goals but also optimized our tax position. Her professionalism, from her Yale-honed precision to her strategic foresight, was outstanding. Elizabeth is a brilliant attorney who delivers results; we are deeply grateful for her guidance.
