"I have worked with clients who were CEOs, CFOs, hedge fund managers, and employees holding stock options at companies that were going public," Michelle stated in a recent email. "In order to effectively advise these clients, I needed to understand the effects that ups and downs in the economy have on my clients' investment strategies and their tax rates. I believe that the knowledge I gained in my economics classes at Chico guided me to understand the macro and micro economics that has helped me achieve success in law Due to this background, I am able to keep up to date on the changing economy and political climate, which have a direct correlation to each clients' tax planning strategies.
