Long Arm of the Law: The Risk to U.S. Practitioners of Prosecution for Facilitating Foreign Tax Offenses

Publisher: Trusts & Estates

Day Pitney Author(s) Dina Kapur Sanna Carl A. Merino

Dina Kapur Sanna and Carl A. Merino co-authored an article, "Long Arm of the Law: The Risk to U.S. Practitioners of Prosecution for Facilitating Foreign Tax Offenses," in the June 2017 issue of Trusts & Estates. The article discusses the changing landscape of anti-money laundering rules and related measures combatting tax evasion across borders. It also highlights potential traps for unwary U.S. practitioners advising clients with offshore holdings and how they can protect themselves from becoming unwitting accessories to a client's non-compliance in another country. Day Pitney colleagues Jed Davis, Danielle Corcione and Matthew Woodbury also provided helpful comments on the article.
