Ziemowit T. Smulkowski

Expert guidance on a complex business acquisition

I engaged Ziemowit Smulkowski at Paul Hastings for tax structuring related to a significant business acquisition in Chicago. While his primary recognition is in Tax Law, his general practice approach was invaluable; he seamlessly coordinated the corporate and regulatory aspects alongside the core tax strategy. His foresight in navigating Illinois-specific implications saved us considerable future liability. The recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved, as his technical knowledge is exceptional. My only slight critique is that during peak periods, response times could occasionally stretch to a full business day. Overall, he provided strategic, top-tier counsel that was critical to the transaction's success. I would confidently recommend him for sophisticated matters blending tax and corporate law.
