Partner Jenny Speck is speaking on “Hot Topics: Renewable Energy Tax Credits after the OBBB Act” at 3:15 p.m. CT. The panel will discuss key issues stemming from recent changes to U.S. renewable energy tax credit programs under the OBBB Act, including Executive Orders and sub-regulatory guidance issued after the OBBB Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025, and how companies have been addressing those issues in the months following the enactment of the OBBB Act.

Partner George Gerachis is speaking on “Trends in Litigation Controversies” at 4:15 p.m. CT. In this session, the speakers will address changes in the federal income tax enforcement environment under the Trump Administration. The panel will discuss the state of partnership audits, both from a substantive and procedural perspective, as well as enforcement targeted at Biden-era “green credits.” In addition, the panelists will share experiences with the government’s assertion of anti-abuse doctrines and anti-abuse regulations in tax litigation, particularly involving partnership and international issues.

George served on the planning committee for the Symposium.
