Mr. Slowinski's expertise in tax law and transfer pricing is evident, which is why I sought his counsel for a complex international tax dispute. While his strategic advice was solid—especially given his recognized experience in litigation and controversy—communication lag times occasionally frustrated our timeline. Expectations were met, though occasional delays in follow-ups made progress feel slower than anticipated for expedited matters. Adequate for long-term planning, but real-time communications could improve.
