ACC - Protecting Privileged Information In Light of the US Tax Authority's New Document Request and Summons Enforcement Policy

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently implemented a new and more aggressive policy for obtaining information and documents from corporate taxpayers during audits, which is likely to lead to more IRS summonses and judicial enforcement actions by the Department of Justice. This webcast will describe the new IRS policy and the implications for the protection of privileged corporate information. The webcast will also cover recent significant decisions by the Federal courts regarding privilege issues including, for example, what privileges can attach to documents prepared for a company's independent auditors that are important to the litigation of tax disputes as well as other types of disputes with the Federal Government.

Robert Willmore is the speaker at this webcast.  Crowell & Moring is the sponsor.
