Intangible property strategy in the changing global marketplace
The global economic downturn has put pressure on companies to make competitive, cost-effective supply chain management decisions while striving to minimize the risk of tax controversy. Globalization means that US and Canadian companies are operating in an increasing number of international jurisdictions.

- Global perspective: Actions and practices of tax authorities with respect to related party use of intangibles
- Key Concepts MNEs and Tax Authorities are struggling with which cause cross border controversies
- Practical guidance for planning, implementing, supporting and defending related party intangibles planning
During this live, interactive webcast, you will have the opportunity to ask questions through the website and the panelists will answer as many of your questions as time permits.
