On April 28, 2022, Megan L. Brackney participates in a panel entitled “Balancing Tax Planning, Advocacy, and Professional Ethics: The Rules That Every Tax Advisor Should Know” for “Tax Planning for Domestic & Foreign Partnerships, LLCs, Joint Ventures & Other Strategic Alliances 2022 Chicago” hosted by the Practising Law Institute (PLI).

Description: The panelists review the ethical rules related to advising clients on transactions involving partnerships and other passthrough entities, using a real-life hypothetical, including tax motivated transactions, and the pitfalls encountered by the advisor at every stage – from the planning of the transaction, to providing tax opinions and recommending return positions, to dealing with the IRS in audit. Ethical rules covered by the panelists include standards derived from the Internal Revenue Code, Circular 230, the AICPA Statements on Standards for Tax Services, and the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
