"Bloomberg BNA is delighted to recognize these very accomplished tax practitioners," said Lisa Fitzpatrick, Vice President and General Manager of Bloomberg BNA Tax & Accounting.  "Jacques, Pascal, Guillermo, and Yuko are true thought leaders in international taxation, and we are honored to recognize the in-depth analysis and perspectives they have provided our subscribers for their respective jurisdictions. International taxation is highly complex and changing, and these authors exemplify the practical insights Bloomberg BNA's network of more than 1,100 leading practitioners brings to our subscribers."
