Lauren Angelilli and Mike Schler Speak at PLI’s “Tax Strategies 2023” Program

Cravath partner Lauren Angelilli and retired partner Michael L. Schler spoke at “Tax Strategies for Corporate Acquisitions, Dispositions, Spin-Offs, Joint Ventures, Financings, Reorganizations & Restructurings 2023,” a program presented by the Practising Law Institute from October 25-27, 2023, in New York. The event convened leading tax practitioners from law firms, accounting firms, corporations and academia to discuss the tax issues presented by the entire spectrum of modern major corporate transactions.

Lauren spoke on a panel entitled “Selected Seller and Buyer Issues, Including Negotiating and Drafting Tax Provisions in Acquisition Agreements,” which reviewed the tax issues which should be addressed in acquisition agreements, including key risk allocation issues, indemnification issues, target’s tax elections and representation and warranty insurance. Mike spoke on a panel entitled “Consolidated Return Planning and Strategies,” which addressed current issues in applying the consolidated return regulations, including those arising from the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act, such as statutory uncertainties, recent regulatory and administrative guidance and informal guidance issued by the IRS.
