Marybeth Nassif and Paul Cambon, members of the firm's federal government relations team in the Washington, DC office, spoke at the Council for Electronic Revenue Communication Advancement (CERCA) Fall 2025 conference on October 22, 2025, in Arlington, Virginia. Their panel “Happenings on the Hill” provided insight into Congressional activities affecting the tax industry and impact of the federal government shutdown on IRS operations and preparation for the upcoming filing season. CERCA attendees included tax-technology vendors, tax-preparation firms, government officials, law firms, and consulting companies who were eager to discuss near-term tax administration, legislative developments, and operational issues ahead of the 2026 filing season.
