THOMAS NICHOLAS TYSZKA
Experienced transactional attorney with a practice focused primarily on advanced planning for family offices and their businesses. Representative domestic and international matters include: corporate governance, structuring, taxation, alternative investment opportunities (including real property, private equity and debt, venture capital, and hedge funds), and philanthropic endeavors.
Career Highlights
• Currently serving as an inaugural co-chair of the newly-created Family Office Committee at the Chicago Bar Association during the 2024-2025 bar year (the first bar committee of its kind in the United States)
• Currently serving as the programmes secretary for the Chicago Branch of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners
• Currently serving as the national chair of the University & Family Business Centers Committee of the Private Directors Association
Educational Highlights

Biographical Summary
A problem-solver at his core, Nicholas has developed a reputation among clients as being able to manage most any challenge – often becoming a quarterback of sorts for affluent families with complex legal issues, including during times of crisis and succession planning. While himself adept with real estate matters and a thought leader in his practice area, Nicholas’ best skill is often managing outside resources at moments of urgent need.
