The Committee on Taxation focuses on tax issues that are of concern to business lawyers. The Committee doesn't aim to make business lawyers into tax experts, but tries to help business lawyers gain a basic understanding of the important tax issues that inevitably arise in their practices. The Committee seeks to act as a bridge between tax law and business law, and to increase communication about tax issues among the various committees of the Business Law Section, and between the Business Law Section and the Tax Section. While some members of the Committee see themselves as tax practitioners, the majority are business lawyers whose practices demand that they remain informed of tax considerations that impact their clients.
