In an alarming trend for the legal profession, it seems the remuneration standards for tax law practitioners may be facing a steep decline. In an astonishing instance, there has been a report of a client offering a tax lawyer a mere $50 to answer unlimited questions for a period of six weeks. This bucking of the traditional six-figure income standard is raising eyebrows and questions alike – such as whether this amount is even tax deductible.
In other news, the law firm Axiom Ince recently found itself in the midst of scandal as it came under police scrutiny. This event has raised some concerns about the blurred line between aggressive growth and Ponzi-like structures within the legal industry.

Also on the agenda, The 15th Annual Holiday Card Contest is just around the corner. Participants are urged to make their contributions as interesting as possible to vie for the top spots.
