Because I have comments to turn to you and 30 other people at the same time
A1 — completely agree. Even worse is the number of emails I receive from corporate teams where they just send me a snip of a tax provision from a random document and ask if it’s okay. It’s infuriating some times.
Coach
Easy tiger. Tax specialists have us by the you know what. We can’t survive without them
Yeah no hard feelings i just want to harness that sociopathic indifference for my own practice
It’s payback for your arbitrary deadlines and only looping us in last minute 😉
Coach
You used the wrong precedent without letting us pick. Now we’re unhappy, and you got put on the naughty list, along with the 15 other corporate teams on the list who still want comments ASAP.

If the tax consequences are wrong the deal is cooked. And one fact stated somewhere in that 96-page draft may be the flag that there is a potentially negative tax impact. So we read everything.
To add to this, maybe OP should consider bringing in the tax specialists early on in the deal. I’ve done so much “fixing” of deals because the corp team failed to get us involved from the beginning.
