Jared has more than 20 years of experience in corporate and international taxation, serving multinational companies in a number industry sectors. He provides international tax structuring strategy and advice. Paul has almost a decade of experience serving multinational and private equity companies on a wide variety of matters. His practice focuses on international tax issues including M&A, dispositions, post-acquisition integration and cross-border financings and restructurings. The interactive meeting kicked off with attendees being asked to fill out and stick post-it notes to signs listing US tax reform topics of greatest interest scattered throughout the room.
The speakers reported on tax policy and the new tax law; international tax key provisions; federal tax considerations; planning and financial reporting; and multistate tax considerations. The presentations were very technical, and presenters invited questions from the audience throughout their discussion. Attendees’ questions helped guide the conversation, and ensured everyone’s concerns were addressed.
