Elizabeth worked with us as the lead tax lawyer on one of our most complicated acquisitions. On the tax front, she was a powerhouse, and juggled three different time zones to set up an efficient cross-border acquisition and holding structure. From our first meeting she managed to explain the complexity of tax considerations in the US, Europe and Asia and how the rules and treaties interact in a way that made perfect sense to me, which has never happened with a tax lawyer before (no offense). She really listened to every question we asked, and her answers reflected her focus on our needs/confusions/concerns. Even better, she made sure the technical stuff was right (and it took some negotiation with seller), but never bogged us down with it. She always focused on what was most relevant to us and the financial impact of the tax rules (now and down the road). Turns out, good tax lawyers aren't "tax" specific - they know the economics of the deal better than anyone, or at least Elizabeth does. Bonus: she walked into the deal knowing all the market trends and terms. No reinventing any wheels here - five minutes into the first meeting and it was obvious she's on the cutting edge of what's happening in the market. She's the real deal: the smartest person in the room - and on top of that, she's so smart that she can explain it all in a way that makes sense to the rest of us.
Elizabeth is a master of contracts and taxes. Although we are certainly one of her smaller clients she has made us feel just important. She has dissected our contracts and issues in a precise yet comprehensive way and with great speed. We look forward to many more years of working with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is a highly talented, responsive attorney, very skilled in tax law and in understanding the economics of complex transactions.
