Checkpoint Edge with CoCounsel and the future of tax research
As tax laws and regulations become increasingly complex and dynamic, the need for advanced, reliable research tools is more critical than ever.
“There’s been an unprecedented rate of change and uncertainty in tax policy over the past 7 or 8 years. Even experienced professionals are finding they have to do more research more often in order to effectively advise their clients,” says Melissa Oaks, Director of Editorial, Current Awareness.
Adding to recent challenges is the shrinking pool of new talent entering the field, which means there is more research to be done because of continuous changes, and fewer people available to do it.
