About This Course
Tax law comes with its own unique challenges and characteristics. It is distinguished from other areas both by the technical aspects of the discipline as well as the ethical standards involved. Beyond ethics codes governing individual states and the ABA Model Rules, tax lawyers are also subject to IRS Circular 230 and must navigate the Internal Revenue Code’s myriad penalties.
When it comes to opinion practice, tax attorneys often look to relevant Treasury Regulations which provides additional sources of ethical authority, making the ethical issues even more complex.
This CLE course will offer an overview of the ethical system that tax attorneys face and identify and then address the challenging fact patterns and scenarios that many will actually have to deal with.
