US Tax Law Masterclass – Session 1

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 1, 8 and 15 March 2023 on this topic. This first session will look at the fundamental of US tax generally and Corporate Tax in particular, introducing the principal rules that come up in practice with examples from actual practice.

Amit graduated with an LLM from LSE in 2007 on full scholarship, having begun his education in India with an LLB from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in Delhi. He also has an LLM in International Taxation from New York University and post-graduate diplomas from The Hague Academy of International Law, the University of San Diego School of Law, the University of Paris I: Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Indian Law Institute.
