Professor Blank's scholarship focuses on tax compliance, corporate taxation and tax policy. He will present his article What's Wrong With Shaming Corporate Tax Abuse, __ Tax L.

For four years immediately before joining the NYU faculty, Blank was an associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, where he advised clients regarding tax aspects of complex public and private company mergers, spin-offs and hostile takeovers.
