Navigating Ethical Challenges When Dealing with Foreign Revenue Authorities
Co-sponsored by the International Transactions Subsection of the CBA Business Law Section
Program Description:
With the increasing globalization of the economy, the need to navigate foreign laws and interact with regulatory bodies abroad is ever present. This seminar will focus on the ethical obligations borne by US attorneys when dealing with tax authorities in foreign jurisdictions. The topics canvassed in this interactive session will include (i) the limitations imposed on practitioners when making submissions on behalf of clients to foreign revenue authorities, (ii) the special obligations that arise in negotiating settlements with a foreign revenue authority, and (iii) the unique reporting requirements and liabilities that can be imposed on advisors in the context of aggressive or complex tax planning. A case study will be used to illustrate the practical challenges that can arise in dealing with foreign revenue authorities, particularly when serving a client that may wish to adopt a less than forthright approach to disclosure.
Don’t wait to take advantage of this opportunity to better learn your ethical obligations when dealing with tax authorities in foreign jurisdictions.
And, Don’t Forget: The International Transactions Subsection Luncheon CLE Series is also available via live Internet webcast, direct to your desktop!
