Polsinelli Expands National Tax Practice with Aman Badyal in Los Angeles
Polsinelli is pleased to announce that its national Tax Practice has further expanded with the addition of Aman Badyal, who joins the Los Angeles office as a shareholder. With a national practice focused on tax structuring, Badyal counsels clients on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, cross-border investments and distressed asset strategies. He is a strategic advisor to developers, investors and companies navigating tax issues in complex transactions across real estate, energy and emerging technologies industries.
“Our clients’ transactions are increasingly complex and often span multiple industries and jurisdictions,” said Jane E. Arnold, Co-Chair of Polsinelli’s Business Department. “Strengthening our tax bench is an important component of our strategy to support that demand and continue building a platform that delivers value across every phase of a transaction.”
“Aman’s broad experience and his ability to guide clients through sophisticated tax issues significantly strengthens our full-service platform and aligns with the needs of our transactional practices,” said William J. Sanders, Chair of Polsinelli’s Tax Practice. “As M&A activity continues to increase, integrated support from our tax team is essential to advising clients through the life cycle of a deal. Aman strengthens our ability to provide that support.”
"Polsinelli’s deep bench and geographic footprint in real estate and middle-market M&A was a major draw for me,” said Badyal. “The firm’s ability to pair sophisticated transactional capabilities with truly integrated tax support creates a platform where I can help clients navigate complex deals with efficiency and clarity. Joining a team that is so immersed in this space and works across so many different industries felt like a natural fit for my practice and my clients’ needs.”
Badyal’s experience includes crypto fund formation and token monetization, renewable energy development and Qualified Opportunity Zone planning. He regularly advises real estate developers, fund sponsors, family offices and blockchain-related businesses on structuring approaches that balance opportunity with risk. He has served as an adjunct professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, where he taught Taxation of Business Organizations, and frequently speaks on emerging tax issues, particularly with respect to developments in the crypto markets and complex real asset transactions. He earned his LL.M. in Taxation from New York University School of Law, his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and his B.A. in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of Washington.
Polsinelli’s Tax Practice delivers creative and experienced guidance on international, federal, state and local tax matters for businesses across all major industries. With advanced legal and accounting credentials, the team advises on transactions, planning and controversies while helping clients navigate complex rules with clarity. The practice has a strong track record in sophisticated structuring, audits, appeals and litigation in judicial and administrative forums nationwide.
