The dynamic post-election tax policy environment may lead to significant tax legislation in 2021. With a 50/50 split in the senate and three significant pieces of legislation being proposed, there is a real possibility that some of President Biden’s tax plan may see the light of day. What might it look like and how will it occur? There were extensions of several energy credits in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 at the end of 2020. Will those provisions have an impact on any tax legislation this year? What other provisions are being discussed that could impact the energy industry?

During the webinar we will review the proposed changes relevant to the energy industry, such as the increased corporate tax rate, extensions of existing and enactment of new tax credits, the minimum tax on US corporations and international tax provisions. We’ll talk about the possibility of any of these working their way into another COVID relief/economic stimulus bill or two budget reconciliation vehicles that may occur this year. Please join Joan Arnold, Adam Kobos and Todd Reinstein from the Tax Group at Troutman Pepper at 3 p.m. on February 11, 2021.

Please join Erin Whaley, Richard Gerakitis, Judith O’Grady, and Emily Zimmer as we provide employers with up-to-the-minute guidance on legal issues related to the COVID-19 vaccine. While initial doses of the vaccine have been generally allocated to health care workers, long-term care residents and members of certain vulnerable populations, all businesses should be preparing for broader availability of the vaccine. The COVID-19 pandemic and new vaccines present unique circumstances in which employers must balance employee rights with the overall safety and health of its workforce, customers, or clients when developing a vaccine strategy. This webinar will help employers across all industries understand the legal framework that regulates mandatory and voluntary employer vaccination programs.

The Troutman Pepper Vaccine Task Force maintains a COVID-19 Vaccine Frequently Asked Questions site to help our clients prepare for the COVID-19 vaccine.

This panel will provide practical tips inherent in vertical and mixed distribution relationships.

What are the provisions that we might include in exclusive dealing contracts so as to avoid Section1 and Section 2 allegations? Are risks higher in dual-distribution relationships, such as when a competitor also serves as a distributor? Are there particular considerations for distributors in on-line channels?
