Case Study: Lumen Technologies

$400 M in tax relief & hostile regulation stopped—see the full story.

The Need

Lumen Technologies faced a steep 10 % tax valuation on new broadband investments and looming legislation that threatened its day-to-day operations in Arizona. They needed deep regulatory expertise to lower tax liability and preempt damaging bills.

Our Approach

Partnering with Valadez & Associates, Michael DiMaria led a decade-long strategy: drafting and passing depreciation legislation, removing $400 M in obsolete assets from tax rolls, and building a coalition to educate legislators on Lumen’s cybersecurity and network expertise.

Outcome

$400M Tax Relief

10 % → 2.5 % Valuation Floor

Legislation Stopped

“Without Valadez & Associates, we would have faced significant operational and financial burdens.”
