Megan Brackney will participate in a panel titled “Multijurisdictional Ethics Issues – Working in Multiple Jurisdictions – Some Things You May Not Think About May Hurt You” hosted by the 2024 Tax Law Conference on March 1, 2024 at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center.

Event Description: 

Practitioners who represent foreign (and domestic) clients face problems that not only raise ethics issues (like practicing in more than one jurisdiction – e.g., license issues, language issues, as well as knowledge of other jurisdictions), but importantly may also involve them and their clients in a number of reporting requirements and even scrutiny under federal money laundering and other statutes that impose criminal liability. These situations require thought about due diligence on accepting clients from other jurisdictions who may have needs or motives besides having a house in your state – tax evasion, reporting of income and assets, etc. This panel will discuss matters you really need to consider and actions you need to take to represent clients with more complex investments and businesses.

This event is co-hosted by the Federal Bar Association’s Section on Taxation.
