    About the Committee

    The mission of the Corporate Counsel Committee is to provide a forum for corporate counsel and tax directors to discuss the tax issues facing corporation counsel and tax directors today. It also seeks to generate discussion with tax lawyers in private practices and with representatives of the Internal Revenue Service and state tax departments.

    The Committee will present substantive programs and panels at Section Meetings and webinars in coordination with other substantive committees of the Section. The Committee’s activities will be designed to provide corporate counsel and tax directors with an opportunity to maintain a constructive dialogue between inside and outside counsel representing corporate taxpayers.

    We encourage corporate general counsel, tax directors, and outside counsel to join and enjoy the camaraderie of the new Corporate Counsel Committee!

    Stay in Touch with Your Committee: Listserv and Hivebrite

    Each Tax Section committee has a mailing list (listerv) and a Hivebrite community. Information about and links to both are below. 

    Listserv

    Committees share news, events, and updates through a dedicated committee listserv. As a committee member, you are welcome and encouraged to share resources, events, or ask questions to fellow committee members that are directly relevant. The listserv email address can be found below. You are automatically added to the listserv and will receive email notifications when you join a committee.  Learn more about managing your committees.

    Click the link above to view the committee listserv email address. Note: you must be logged in and a Section Member to view the address.

    Hivebrite

    In addition to listserv, each committee has a Hivebrite community. Here, committees can share meeting materials or recordings, committee newsletters, and more. All Tax Connect discussion posts have been moved over to the committee's Hivebrite community
