Partners Michael Ding and Valentine Gurfinkel are participating in the OBA Tax Professionalism Program, taking place on December 3, 2026. Michael is serving as Program Chair and will moderate the session, "Privilege and Confidentiality in CRA Audits," while Valentine will join the panel as a speaker.

The session will examine privilege and confidentiality issues that arise during Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) audits. Panelists will discuss common privilege risks, challenges involving communications with accountants and other third-party advisers, and practical strategies for responding to CRA information requests while preserving applicable protections. The discussion will also explore recent case law and its implications for privilege in the audit context.
The OBA Tax Professionalism Program brings together tax practitioners and industry professionals to discuss current issues, emerging developments, and best practices in tax law and practice.
