Stinson LLP Partner Harry Teichman was featured in a Bloomberg Tax "Five Questions" Q&A where he shared perspectives on the evolving landscape of tax law, emerging challenges for practitioners, and key issues shaping the field.

In the interview, Teichman identifies artificial intelligence as a defining force in the profession, noting both its growing role in client expectations and the importance of maintaining rigorous legal analysis. "AI might produce a quick answer that seems right, but is it technically correct?" he questioned, emphasizing that professional judgment remains central to effective tax counsel.

Teichman also highlights significant developments in tax litigation, including cases addressing civil fraud penalties and constitutional questions around jury trial rights. He points to a growing circuit split and suggests the issue is likely to reach the Supreme Court, underscoring its broader implications for how federal agencies enforce penalties.

In addition, Teichman discusses ongoing uncertainty surrounding partnership audits under the Bipartisan Budget Act, noting unresolved questions that continue to create risk and complexity for taxpayers. He also reflects on a landmark tobacco tax case he litigated in Florida, which influenced tax treatment nationwide, and shares practical guidance for early-career attorneys on interpreting statutes and regulations.

Teichman focuses his practice on tax and corporate and estate planning matters. He also advises clients on matters involving partnership and corporate structuring, franchising, wills and trusts, leases, employment agreements and succession planning.
