Marc Gerson, Chair of Miller & Chevalier, was quoted regarding the differences between the Senate Finance Committee's tax reform bill and the House Committee on Ways and Means' tax reform bill. "Overall, the scope of differences between the [Senate Finance Committee bill and the Committee on] Ways and Means bill is an early indicator of how long a conference may take to reconcile these differences and therefore whether passage of a conference report and enactment before the end of the year is possible," said Gerson, who previously served as tax counsel to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
