Business Broker Experience Tom Freimuth Brings To The Table

After completing his legal studies at the renowned University of Virginia School of Law in 1990, Tom embarked on a multi-faceted journey within the law. His practice spanned several years, primarily based in Omaha. During this time, his work was concentrated within diverse legal domains such as tax, business, corporate law, estate planning, probate, and litigation, testifying to his remarkable versatility as a legal professional.

Further expanding the breadth of his expertise, Tom also held positions within the financial services industry for several years. His work in this sector, just like his legal practice, was broadly based within the spheres of tax, business, corporate law, and estate planning. His tenacious pursuit of professional growth led him to a role as a general counsel with a reputable franchise sales and development company. He developed and implemented innovative legal strategies that significantly contributed to the company’s growth and success.

Moreover, Tom also boasts over a decade’s worth of hands-on experience in residential real estate management, adding another layer of depth to his extensive professional portfolio. Before commencing his journey in law, Tom served as a Legislative Assistant from 1984 to 1987. This role saw him working diligently in the Washington, D.C. office of esteemed Nebraska U.S. Rep. Hal Daub, further diversifying his impressive career trajectory.
In 2011, an eventful chapter in Tom’s life unfolded when Governor Dave Heineman appointed him to represent Nebraska’s Second Congressional District as a full-time Commissioner on Nebraska’s Tax Equalization & Review Commission (TERC). This influential body, which comprises a Governor-appointed Commissioner from each of Nebraska’s three federal Congressional Districts, serves as the state’s primary forum for addressing taxation, valuation, and assessment of real and personal property.

As a TERC Commissioner, Tom was tasked with overseeing hundreds of appeals, particularly those filed by commercial and agricultural taxpayers concerning taxation and valuation matters. His opinions, whether majority or dissenting, shaped the trajectory of these appeals. After an impactful tenure at TERC, Tom served until 2015, when he decided to return to his private law practice.

Since 2004, Tom has held an influential position on the Board of Directors of Nelnet Education Loan Funding, Inc., a subsidiary of the global company Nelnet, Inc. Headquartered in Lincoln, Nelnet operates in the education, technology, and telecommunications industries across the United States and several foreign countries.

From 2006 to the start of his TERC tenure in 2011, Tom represented the legal profession on the Nebraska State Records Board, an additional testament to his far-reaching influence in Nebraska’s legal landscape.
