US Tax Law Masterclass – Session 3

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.

This is the final series of US Tax Law Masterclass. This third session will bring it all together and focus on case studies and   recent examples from practice.
