Beitel Tax Law: culture and client focus drive top specialized tax firm recognition

Beitel Tax Law recently earned its prestigious spot on Canadian Lawyer's Top Tax Boutiques list, and for good reason. In this interview with Canadian Lawyer TV, Bruce Laregina, Counsel at Beitel Tax Law, opened up about the firm’s culture, its unique approach to client service, and how it plans to continue excelling in the competitive tax law field.

What sets Beitel Tax Law apart is its collaborative, low-stress work environment. Laregina attributes the firm’s success to its positive, team-oriented culture, emphasizing a balance between work and life. “We have low billable hour targets for all of our lawyers and staff, which allows us to provide great service to our clients,” he shared. “This means our lawyers are available to take on extra work if something urgent arises on a client’s file.”

The firm’s client-centered approach has proven especially effective as Canada’s tax landscape becomes more challenging. Laregina acknowledged the increasing aggressiveness of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which has prompted clients to bypass administrative steps and go straight to tax court. “If clients feel they’re not getting anywhere with the CRA, they’re best served by having their matter heard in court,” Laregina explained.

Looking ahead, Laregina believes that boutique firms like Beitel Tax Law have a distinct advantage. “Full-service firms often focus on multinational clients, while we specialize in small businesses,” he noted. “The challenges faced by small businesses with tax issues are very different from those of large corporations.”

Beitel Tax Law’s success story is a testament to the power of a positive culture and a strong focus on client relationships. As Beitel Tax Law looks to the future, Laregina remains confident: “We’re just going to keep doing great work, and hopefully, we’ll get recognized again.”
