In Episode 32 of the Big 4 Transparency Podcast, I am joined by Dean Blachford, an independent tax lawyer specializing in tax disputes in Canada. In this episode, we cover what differentiates tax law, and the different streams within it, Dean’s story of how he launched his own practice, and a story of stepping up to the plate when faced with career adversity. We also talk about the Blachford Tax Law Charity Softball game, an annual event which I believe to be the perfect blend of philanthropy, networking and marketing for Dean’s firm. I think a lot of firms could greatly benefit from similar events, and get more fulfillment from their work by driving community impact through this type of philanthropy.
