McDermott Gathers Business Leaders to Plan for the Future within the New Realities of Tax Reform
CHICAGO, April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott Will & Emery will convene senior tax practitioners at its second annual Tax Symposium on May 8th in the Firm's Chicago office. The symposium will be an in-depth discussion of the critical business and legal issues involved in optimizing corporate structuring and planning strategies within the post-reform tax landscape.
The practical implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) have had a wide-ranging impact on both US and international companies. With the initial wave of regulatory guidance coming out of the TCJA nearly complete, tax departments are now looking to optimize their corporate structures and solidify their overall tax planning strategy. McDermott's exclusive, full-day Tax Symposium will address how leaders of these companies can and should plan for future success in the wake of tax reform.
Programming will include panel discussions on these critical issues:
- Regulatory and Legislative Outlook
- Subpart F vs. GILTI
- State Tax After Reform
- Tax Controversy in the Wake of Tax Reform
- Planning for M&A and Post-Acquisition Integration
Keynote
Itai Grinberg, professor and member of the Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown Law School, will give the keynote address at the event. Itai is a thought leader in the tax world whose research focuses on international tax policy and fundamental tax reform, as well as the intersection of international tax law, international trade law, international investment law and international financial regulation.
