Filip M. Rams

Filip M. Rams is a Director at Strassburger McKenna Gutnick & Gefsky, where he focuses his practice on corporate and tax matters for private and public companies, investors, and entrepreneurs.

He advises clients across various industries on structuring and executing complex commercial transactions, mergers and acquisitions, entity formation, and corporate governance, providing practical counsel that supports both immediate transaction goals and long-term business strategies.

Filip draws on experience working in a national law firm and a global professional services firm, where he advised clients on mergers, acquisitions, corporate and tax structuring, and governance.
