Tax Practice Management Committee, Moderator on “The Ethical Challenges of Social Media for Tax Practitioners”
“The use of social media both personally and professionally has dramatically increased in popularity over the last decade. Modernly, lawyers and tax practitioners use social media to advertise, network, and stay informed on the latest developments in their respective practice areas. While the utility of this transformative technology is evident, practitioners often face a number of ethical and practical challenges related to the use of social media which give rise to professional responsibility concerns. This panel will discuss the ethical and practical challenges related to social media that tax practitioners should be aware of when they represent clients in the future.”
