Radosław Maćkowski

Tax Advisor, License No. 11248, lawyer

I work for large, medium and small companies in the following sectors: pharmaceutical, medical devices, medical services, cosmetics, marketing & advertisement, food & beverages (including alcohol, diet supplements). My practice includes day-to-day tax advice as well as client support in tax, customs duty, statistical and administrative court proceedings.

I have several years of experience in tax and legal advisory. I have worked with tax advisory firms from the BIG 4 (PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte) as well as the Deloitte law firm. With these companies I worked for local and foreign clients advising them on issues related to VAT, excise duty, real estate tax (RET), and the tax on civil law transactions. I was engaged in projects aimed at tax planning, tax optimization and restructuring. During these projects I was involved in due diligence investigations and tax reviews.

Educational background:

• Law and Administration Faculty at the University of Warsaw (2004)
• The Center for American Law Studies at the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw (2004)
• Erasmus Exchange Programme at Lund University (2002-2003)

Wojciech Pietrasiewicz

Tax Advisor, License No. 10369, lawyer

I have been assisting clients with their tax matters for almost 15 years. In 2005 I was admitted as a tax advisor. For several years I worked with renowned law firms (Baker & McKenzie, Allen & Overy), where I was responsible for advising on the tax aspects of M&A transactions, capital markets and real estate transactions.

My practice includes day-to-day advice to clients primarily in the real estate, financial, entertainment, and the information-technology sectors as well as for cultural institutions and NGOs.

I am also heavily involved in advising on tax aspects related to different transactions and representing clients in disputes with tax authorities. For many years I represented clients from various industries in tax audits, tax proceedings and proceedings before administrative courts.

In the international ranking of Tax Controversy Leaders in 2015, I was recognized as one of the leading tax advisors in disputes with tax authorities. I was also ranked in Chambers Europe 2016 as a leading lawyer in Tax. I am a member of the International Fiscal Association (IFA).

I am an avid runner and a fan of team sports. In my spare time I read Polish medieval literature and books on economic psychology.
