Ponder, for just a moment, on your favorite film and television lawyers. For me, it’s Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, Elle Woods from Legally Blond, and the titular Perry Mason. One could imagine that their accolades, had they been real people and not characters, would have been making a splash throughout the world of law. The Ohio Rising Stars list recognizes burgeoning lawyers who are doing just that. Appearing on the 2022 Ohio Rising Stars list is Phi Tau’s own, Brandon Wojtasik, Baldwin Wallace ’09. This list honors the top 2.5% of Ohio lawyers under the age of forty, or that have practiced law for less than ten years.
Graduating magna cum laude from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 2018, Wojtasik is practicing corporate law with a focus in mergers and acquisitions at Tucker Ellis LLP – a full-service firm based in Cleveland with over 225 attorneys. Since starting his practice, Wojtasik is proud to have led and assisted in transactions with values ranging up to $100 million.
In a brief chat with Wojtasik, he described how his time as president of the Alpha Omega chapter at Baldwin Wallace University helped prepare him for his career. Building relationships, cultivating communications skills, and nurturing connections are all attributes Wojtasik began to foster throughout his time in the fraternity, and more specifically, his time as president. With all the charisma and ambition of our favorite courtroom heroes, we at Phi Tau are excited to see what becomes of our flourishing Cleveland attorney.
