Layla Asali, Candice James, Elizabeth Jonas, and Joanne Roskey will speak at the American Bar Association 2025 Midyear Tax Meeting on February 20-21, 2025.

Asali will present, as part of a panel, "Business Mobility: Cross-Border Redomiciliations, Inversions, and Other Variations." This panel will examine a set of representative cross-border redomiciliation transactions from a variety of angles, highlighting and discussing key issues such as the implications of transfers of know-how, workforce, and other intangibles, the potential vulnerability of applicable regulations post-Loper Bright, the relevance of equity incentive regimes and executive mobility, and economic substance considerations.

James will moderate the Women in Tax Forum panel "For the Love of Tax." Inspired by the Valentines Day holiday, this panel will be based on the life cycle of a romantic relationship but focus on the panelists’ relationship with tax (i.e., matchmaking, first heartbreak, biggest win, and so on). 

Jonas will present, as part of a panel, "Employee Benefits: Welfare Plans, EEOC, FMLA and Leave Issues." This panel will address the 2024 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) regulations, explore issues plans should consider before sharing plan data with point solution administrators, voluntary benefit insurers, consultants, and other service providers, provide an update on pharmacy benefit design and compliance, and revisit key legal challenges to federal regulations governing health plans (including lawsuits targeting ACA preventive care mandates and HIPAA privacy regulations). 

Roskey will present, as part of a panel, "Trump’s DOL: A Second Bite at the Apple." This panel will analyze the Trump Administration’s must-haves, hot buttons, and targets for dismantling. Panelists will identify, categorize, and project the focus and pathways of a Trump DOL in both the near and medium term, including overarching thematic changes and agency process shifts.
