"Osgoode’s LLM is the longest running and most prestigious LLM in Tax in the country. It was an amazing experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better faculty. The classes were small enough that we could discuss cases and legislation. The LLM broadened my network considerably. Then, there’s the knowledge and the materials; I go back and reference them all the time."

"A lot of CPAs think about taxation law in terms of what the law is and how the rules will be applied, but it’s important to appreciate why the rules were written that way in the first place and the rationale behind their application. It’s also helpful in communications with clients when you can tell them the story behind the law. Understanding the ‘whys’ of taxation law gives you a different perspective and that is the real strength and power of the LLM."

"I’ve always been a fan of lifelong learning, and I felt that having a graduate degree would round out my skills. As a tax practitioner in particular, the topic is so complicated and the law is changing so much, that you always need to be able to stay on top of developments and continue sharpening your skills. It makes you a much better practitioner when you understand the tax system and its stakeholders, and you’re able to gain an insight into the decision-making that lies behind particular policies."
