Our Core Values Collaboration We thrive by sharing knowledge, opportunities, and ideas freely inside and outside our organization. We prosper through building relationships rather than controlling resources. By learning from others, we expand beyond our own limits, striving for excellence together. Success or failure is a team effort, not an individual pursuit. Excellence We recognize that mastering our craft is a lifelong pursuit and that excellence is a process rather than a result. We prefer being right to having been right and, therefore, accept constructive criticism with gratitude. We expect our teammates to hold us to the highest standards and help us achieve them. Innovation We innovate continuously, believing there is always a better way. Through experimentation, we learn from both success and failure. Sometimes, progress comes in small steps; other times, it comes through bold change. We embrace a practical, evidence-based approach driven by real-world experience. Care We strive to provide our team members with the time, flexibility, and resources they need to fulfill their care responsibilities, including self-care. We recognize that health and sustainability require an investment of time and energy, which is incompatible with an excessive workload. We also seek as an organization to fulfill our responsibility to care for our community through pro bono initiatives, knowledge sharing and inclusivity. Integrity We uphold professionalism, honesty, respect, fairness, and accountability in all we do. Our responsibilities to clients, colleagues, the courts, and society guide our actions. We prioritize clear, honest communication and treat everyone with respect. Recognizing when we occupy positions of power, we strive for fairness, balancing others' interests with our own.About BTL Beitel Tax Law represents entrepreneurs and private companies in conflicts with the Canada Revenue Agency. None of our lawyers practice any areas of law other than tax, and most have spent their entire careers practicing exclusively in tax.
Our philosophy is to think less like lawyers and more like entrepreneurs. We have among the lowest billable hour targets in the industry because we want our lawyers to learn, train and sharpen their skills on our time rather than yours. We have an in-house coaching program for our associates and a full-time practice innovation lawyer focused on adopting new technologies and improving our processes. We have arranged real-time translation for our clients to ensure we can help a diverse clientele.
Even if we don't think like (traditional) lawyers, we are still obsessed with the law. Our lawyers have been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada and publish Beitel Tax Disputes for the Owner Manager quarterly for Thomson Reuters. Our internal chat buzzes throughout the day with in-depth discussions of legal ideas, strategies and tactics, meaning that even if our clients are represented by only one lawyer, they benefit from the experience of all. We think we're building something innovative and different in tax law.
