NEW YORK, June 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier legal news organization Law360, a LexisNexis® company, today announced the launch of its new Law360 Tax Authority platform for tax practitioners, which will provide broad-scale, detailed coverage of federal, state and local, and international tax news, as well as regular commentary and analysis from some of the tax field’s highest-profile and most-renowned thought leaders.
Across the three coverage areas, Law360 Tax Authority will include 60 to 70 breaking news articles, news analysis pieces, news briefs, source documents and high-impact commentary by analysts and practitioners every single business day. The publication addresses the needs and interests of law firm practice leaders and partners, corporate counsel and finance executives, regulatory leaders and lawmakers, CPAs and other tax practitioners, and state and federal judges and court staff.
Law360 – whose daily newsletters reach more than 1.25 million legal professionals, business leaders and government officials – is no newcomer to tax news. In 2014, the news outlet began publishing Tax Law360, which covers the biggest stories in tax law each day and delivers them directly to readers’ email inboxes. Law360 Tax Authority builds on the success of Tax Law360, leveraging an exclusive staff of 30+ journalists and tax experts, including a host of prominent senior correspondents, several leading tax contributing editors, and a fast-paced, experienced team of reporters and researchers.
Law360 Tax Authority is led by:
- Managing Editor Chris DeZinno, J.D., LL.M., who was formerly an editor at Thomson Reuters Tax and Accounting and a tax advisor for Intuit. He joined Law360 in 2013 to develop the news agency’s Tax Law360 section and also served as Washington bureau chief from 2015 to 2016.
- Deputy Managing Editor Gina Briggs, J.D., LL.M., who was formerly a tax attorney in New York before becoming a tax editor at Thomson Reuters Tax and Accounting. She joined Law360 in 2017 to help create Law360 Tax Authority, with a focus on developing and overseeing state and local tax coverage.
Law360 Tax Authority contributors and analysts include:
- David Brunori, who is a partner at Quarles & Brady LLP and a research professor of public policy at The George Washington University. David is a nationally known expert in state and local tax and public finance. He is also a frequent speaker at conferences around the U.S. and has written several books and thousands of articles on state tax policy and administration.
- Molly Moses, who has written about international tax and transfer pricing for more than 20 years. Her balanced and in-depth reporting has earned her the trust of those in the government and the private sector around the world. Molly’s writing about conflicts between the U.S. and Canada in resolving tax disputes led to a change in the way the countries handled those cases and was included in a book featuring trade journalists as investigative reporters (Journalism That Matters, http://www.asbpe.org/store/). Other career highlights include coverage of DHL Corp.’s transfer pricing trial, directing the coverage of the Amazon transfer pricing trial and moderating panels at international tax conferences.
- Rufus Rhoades, one of the leading experts in the U.S. in the field of international tax, and co-author of the six-volume Rhoades & Langer, U.S. International Taxation & Tax Treaties, which has been cited numerous times by the U.S. Tax Court and federal district and appeals courts.
- Maria Koklanaris, who has specialized in reporting on state and local tax issues for decades at major tax publications. Prior to her stint as senior state tax reporter for Tax Analysts, where she gained a national following covering state tax policy issues and profiling leaders in the field, Maria reported on business and other issues for The Washington Post and The Washington Times, among other publications. Maria was recently named one of the 100 must-follow tax-related Twitter accounts for 2018 by Forbes.
- Vidya Kauri, who draws upon her broad reporting on global economic issues to dissect — with balance and depth — U.S. federal tax policy and its impact on domestic and multinational businesses.
