Convene Masterclass: The Practice of US Tax Law

This is an event for anyone interested in corporate/commercial law as much as tax law. To put it simply, ‘You don’t do a deal without talking to the tax team’. And given how often deals involve US interests, a basic knowledge of the core US tax rules will be invaluable for any deal practitioners, wherever in the world they are located, and whatever their practice focus.

Amit M. Sachdeva of EY will present a series of Master Classes on this topic on 11 and 18 March 2022 from 14:30 to 15:30 in the Moot Court Room.

The first session will look at Corporate Tax in the US, introducing the principal rules that come up in practice with examples from actual practice. The second session will carry this over to International Tax, looking at how the US tax rules affect cross-border transactions. Once again, Amit will provide a practical view with recent examples from practice.
