Winston & Strawn tax partner Mitch Moetell spoke at the Institute of International Bankers Seminar on U.S. Taxation of International Banks on June 21, 2010 in New York City.

Mr. Moetell spoke on the panel "Legislative and Regulatory Developments," where he discussed some of the relevant developments that have recently surfaced due to the enormous amount of legislative and regulatory activity in the area of banking, including those that are not generally tax-related but can have a significant impact on the bottom line. Joining him on the panel were Kenneth W. Busey of Washington National Tax Services PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Derek Bush of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Thomas Stout, Jr. of KPMG LLP. Eric Atkerson of Tax Research and Planning TD Securities (USA) LLC moderated the discussion.
