Sunil Sethi & Co.
Advocates and Tax Consultants
Tax today is attracting attention like never before – among governments and citizens, in boardrooms and the C suite, and across businesses and their supply chains. The world is becoming disorderly as governments try to manipulate corporate behavior. Companies and their bosses find themselves being pulled in all directions. Tax is at the forefront of negotiation and debate, and it is driving decisions on policy, trade, strategy, and business transformation. Leaders face new challenges as they work to meet rapidly changing compliance obligations, elevate their strategic role, and ensure they can articulate clearly the ways in which their departments can add value inside and outside of the organization. We are where you need us, delivering deep tax technical expertise while providing the critical context to help you make informed and compliant decisions that drive your operations forward. At your side globally and locally, we design best-in-class integrated tax and legal strategies that empower you to move from complexity to execution in a tough tax environment. ■

AI agents and co-workers: Artificial Intelligence heralds a paradigm shift and will be a game changer for our people and clients. Leveraging advanced tools like 'Counsel AI' of the 'Harvey AI Platform' and 'HurryLegal', we merge our deep expertise with cutting-edge multi-modal AI technology, empowering our professionals to pioneer innovative legal solutions. We use tailor-made large language models designed to support lawyers by addressing client concerns across different practice areas, jurisdictions, and legal frameworks. Being an early adopter enables synergy to deliver comprehensive, cost-efficient, and market-relevant services across various sophisticated professional service domains including contract analysis, compliance, claims management, due diligence, and advisory. While AI augments our capabilities by offering support in litigation by providing insights into legal precedents and strategies, it doesn't supplant human expertise; rather, it enhances our ability to provide tailored legal solutions. With the line between human and AI-generated text blurring we are of the view that every AI masterpiece still starts with a human spark and requires human supervision. Recognizing AI's role as a research aid, our commitment remains to deliver meticulous, human-reviewed outputs, ensuring accuracy and completeness. We're committed to investing in our products and team, enabling our clients to fully harness the potential of generative AI. ■
