Weiss commented, “In today’s rapidly changing economic climate, where companies must sometimes navigate a need to restructure, M&A activity, and evolving regulations, Tax Liability Insurance (TLI) provides a crucial way for businesses to protect themselves from unforeseen tax obligations. Tax insurance products are particularly appealing in a changing environment because they can effectively crystallize the cost of potential tax liabilities.
“Jared’s deep technical knowledge and unique understanding of the subtle complexities involved in insuring known tax risks will bolster our regional tax liability insurance practice, enabling us to identify new insurable risks that help clients solve unforeseen problems.”
