Hogan Lovells Cadwalader is a global law firm trusted by clients to deliver on complex, high-stakes matters.

Operating at the intersection of business, finance, and government, we bring an unwavering commitment to client service and the decisive counsel that helps clients achieve exceptional results.

Consistently recognized for innovation across legal services, we combine sharp judgment with deep commercial perspective and intellectual rigor to address critical, cutting-edge challenges.

With 3,100 lawyers worldwide, we offer global scale with strong local insight in the markets that matter most. Our commitment extends beyond client work through pro bono activities, community investment, and responsible business practices.

As Cadwalader approaches its merger with Hogan Lovells on July 1, the firm reflects on eight years of BrassTax publication, which has provided clear insights on major tax developments from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to cryptocurrency taxation and energy tax credits. The publication will integrate into the combined firm's platform over the summer, promising expanded coverage with a broader group of contributors in the fall.

We created BrassTax eight years ago, following the most significant revision to the tax code in recent times, to respond to our clients who wanted to stay informed of tax developments at a high level. As our practice chair Linda Swartz noted in our first issue, our mission has always been to provide readers with clear, concise insights on important recent developments affecting transactional practices, coupled with thought-provoking practical implications.

Tax law has continued to evolve over the life of this publication, and we have been fortunate to cover a variety of topics in BrassTax, including guidance interpreting the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the development of the crypto tax landscape, the rollout of the first-of-its-kind market for the transfer of energy tax credits, the introduction of a new corporate alternative minimum tax, and the oscillation of the spinoff rules. Throughout that time, BrassTax has distilled these and other tax developments into easily digestible updates and included practical insights for our colleagues and clients.

As we approach our merger on July 1 that will create Hogan Lovells Cadwalader, we look forward to building on the BrassTax tradition with a broader group of contributors, covering an even wider range of developments.

We’ll spend the summer integrating BrassTax into the combined Firm’s Our Thinking platform. Look for our new and expanded content in the fall, and have a splendid summer!
