Tax Assignments

Tax Assignment

Early in my first summer as a student, I had the opportunity to work closely with a tax lawyer who allowed to me to see how she worked and what skills she employed in her practice. Naturally, I was also exposed to her passion for tax.

Subsequently, I took some courses in accounting and taxation, and after completing a bachelor of laws, I decided to pursue a career in tax. I have also obtained a master of laws, taxation option.

As an articling student in the Tax Group, I was given a range of questions touching on a variety of areas of tax law. The Tax Group, by which I am constantly impressed, is intimate and talented, and we often brainstorm in teams with respect to changes in legislative interpretation and their practical implications. In addition, the skills I use vary from conceptual and critical analysis, which I practised as an undergraduate philosophy student, legal and jurisprudential interpretation, skills I honed in law school, and finally the practical application of tax laws and formulas that provide a profound understanding of many decisions made in the corporate world. I now find myself exposing others to my passion for tax.
