The team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is always happy to debate multinational tax issues. And with the way things have been changing in the last two years, it’s never been a better time to hit "record" on those conversations, and share them with fellow self-proclaimed tax nerds and those just getting started in the field.

“Five years ago, we had a radically different international tax system from what we have today, which may change again significantly in the next year or two," says Skadden partner Nate Carden. “You have to constantly be thinking, How do the planning  I'm doing and the structures I'm creating align with my business objectives? Are they nimble enough to deal with tax rules that may evolve faster than my business?”

Two major factors created this dynamic moment:

COVID-19 prompted multinationals to rethink their tax strategies. And in the nearly two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed the pandemic, governments that poured money into enormous public funding initiatives are looking for ways to make back some of those expenses through taxes.

Meanwhile, the public and lawmakers are paying more attention than ever to how multinationals are being taxed and using tax laws.

In this introductory episode of GILTI Conscience, you’ll meet your hosts: Skadden partners David Farhat and Nate Carden, associate Eman Cuyler, and clerk Stefane Victor, who is about to be admitted to the D.C. bar.
