Taking full advantage of its full-service structure, the tax practice at Linklaters works closely alongside the firm’s corporate, banking and real estate practices to offer comprehensive advice to its clients. The team is also praised by one client for its ‘strong offerings handling compliance with local regulations’. The practice is led jointly by Mikołaj Bieniasz, who is particularly experienced in providing tax advice related to cross-border and domestic restructurings, as well as M&A transactions, tax planning and transfer pricing issues; and Michał Nocoń, who was promoted to co-head in November 2024.
