Bracewell & Giuliani Partner to Chair New State Bar of Texas Energy Tax Committee
HOUSTON (Nov. 2, 2006) – Bracewell & Giuliani LLP partner Roger D. Aksamit has been named chairman of the newly formed Energy and Natural Resources Tax Committee in the Tax Section of the State Bar of Texas. Mr. Aksamit was chosen by his colleagues because of his substantial experience in representing both publicly held and closely held companies and business clients in all aspects of transactional tax matters.
“Tax issues and the energy industry are constantly evolving and creating challenges for those who work within these issues," Mr. Aksamit said. "I am honored that my state bar colleagues have selected me to head this important committee.”
At Bracewell, Mr. Aksamit's tax practice concentrates on transactional corporate and partnership tax planning, tax-free reorganizations, spin-offs, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financial instruments, swaps and hedges, bankruptcy tax planning, exempt organizations, state and local tax planning, and federal and state controversy and litigation. He is recognized in the 2006 edition of Chambers USA: Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business for his work in tax law.
