Description

Tax Law Client Strategies is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on best practices for successfully representing a client to resolve tax disputes. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation’s leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the legal landscape of this ever-evolving area of law. These top lawyers discuss the importance of understanding a client’s goals and motivations, establishing a positive client/attorney relationship, and proactively preventing legal disputes. From implementing successful negotiation tactics to structuring tax transactions and understanding the fundamentals of estate planning, these lawyers offer tips for working with clients to develop and execute a proper strategy for structuring deals and resolving disputes. Finally, these leaders reveal their strategies for avoiding common mistakes, planning defensively, hedging risks, finding creative solutions, and keeping abreast of change. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this dynamic and fast-paced area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
