Law360 Takes On Tax

Law360’s Tax section launched Tuesday, marking our latest major expansion of practice-area news and analysis for business lawyers and the clients they represent.

 

The section — our 37th — covers breaking news in federal, state and international tax litigation, policy and regulation, with a particular focus on issues affecting business enterprises. The first newsletters went out Wednesday, Nov. 20.

 

“Tax is a great addition to our newsroom,” Law360 managing editor Cat Fredenburgh said. “We’ve been actively planning the section for the past six months, and it’s fantastic to see those efforts come to fruition.”

 

 

The new section brings together an unparalleled expanse of hard news coverage with the keen analysis readers have come to expect from Law360.

 

Some of today’s articles, for example, focused on lawyers’ worries over the soon-to-be-enacted Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, a fired-up black market for cigarettes in New York City, and trouble for businesses that misclassify workers as independent contractors, as well as expert analysis from practitioners at Greenberg Traurig and Thompson & Knight.

 

“Our team includes two senior reporters with significant experience covering tax matters,” said assistant managing editor Christopher DeZinno, who oversees Tax Law360. “Along with breaking news, we make sure readers get the in-depth examination they rely on.”

 

Tax is only the latest launch for Law360 in 2013, coming on the heels of Aerospace & Defense, Hospitality, Consumer Protection and Florida. Meanwhile, even more sections — including Capital Markets and Retail — are in the works as we head into 2014.

 

Platform and enterprise subscribers have full access to Tax as part of their subscription. Section subscribers should talk to their account executive to learn about upgrade options.
