Ryan Nowicki Joins Crowell & Moring’s Tax Group in Los Angeles

Los Angeles - November 11, 2026: Crowell & Moring has added senior counsel Ryan Nowicki to its Tax Group in Los Angeles. Nowicki will advise clients on the tax considerations of complex business transactions and help lead the firm's work for nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations.

Nowicki brings more than two decades of experience advising private companies, emerging growth businesses, and high-net-worth individuals on tax planning and structuring. His transactional practice spans mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, financings, restructurings, and business succession planning. He also represents individuals, businesses, and tax-exempt organizations before federal, state, and local taxing authorities in audits, investigations, administrative appeals, and tax litigation, as well as tax collection matters, including payment plans and collection alternatives.

"Ryan pairs deep transactional tax experience with a strong understanding of the issues facing tax-exempt organizations," said Christine K. Lane, chair of Crowell's Tax Group. "His practical approach will help our clients navigate complex tax issues in their transactions and operations, and he strengthens our ability to serve clients in California and across the U.S."

At Crowell, Nowicki will provide transactional tax support to the firm's corporate practice, including on healthcare transactions, and will work with the emerging companies and venture capital and life sciences practices to advise businesses and their owners on tax planning and structuring. He will also help lead the firm's tax-exempt practice, advising nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations on formation, governance, compliance, audits, and operational matters. Nowicki joins Crowell from Jeffer Mangels & Mitchell LLP, where he chaired the tax-exempt practice. He is a past chair of the Exempt Organizations Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

"Crowell's collaborative approach, which brings transactional and regulatory perspectives together, is a strong platform for helping clients address their most complex tax challenges," said Nowicki. "I look forward to working with my new colleagues to guide businesses through significant transactions and to help nonprofit organizations advance their missions."

Nowicki received his LL.M. in taxation, with distinction, from Georgetown University Law Center, where he completed an externship with the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. He earned his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law and his B.A., cum laude, from SUNY Buffalo.

Nowicki is also active in his community and was named "Man of the Year" in Hermosa Beach, California, in recognition of his contributions, including extensive pro bono work for local organizations.
