MAPLE Business Council Southern California Summer Reception - June 14

  • Knobbe Martens 2040 Main Street 2nd Floor Conference Room Irvine, CA, 92614 United States (map)

We look forward to welcoming you to our Southern California Summer Reception - an in-person and online program for us to meet one another to network and hear great content from our featured presenters.

Presenting at this event will be partners from two MAPLE member organizations, leading IP law firm, Knobbe Martens, and national audit, tax and consulting services firm, RSM US LLP.

This meeting is extra special as it is the 7th anniversary since the founding of MAPLE. And it just so happens that our very first event was held at Knobbe Martens’ conference center in June 2015. Since this time it has been our pleasure to privilege to hold well over 100 in-person and online events in Canada, Southern California and New York.

After networking over continental breakfast, we will be providing an update on MAPLE on the occasion of our 7th anniversary followed by a special panel discussion with Knobbe Martens and RSM.

Bert Hawkins, Tax Partner at RSM, will moderate a discussion on establishing a company’s global IP portfolio in a manner that aligns with a company’s goals and the importance of avoiding tax inefficiencies. Our expert panel will explain how to meet both of these goals.

Harnik Shukla, Partner, Knobbe Martens; Vlad Teplitskiy, Partner, Knobbe Martens; Jamie Benhabib, Transfer Pricing Manager, RSM US; Bert Hawkins, Partner, Tax, RSM US; Kenneth Murwanto, Senior Manager International Tax, RSM US.
