In this episode, Dr Rishi Gulati is in conversation with Dr Aleksandar Ivanovski on his experiences as an international lawyer. In a number of episodes of this podcast series, one key theme is to learn from a diversity of lawyers as to the path they took, challenges confronted, and how they were tackled and overcome.
The discussion not only touches on substantive legal issues of significance, but also on the personal stories of the lawyers who played a part in tackling them.
This episode discusses various aspects of Dr Ivanovski’s work who is a Belgian-Macedonian lawyer, academic, and an EU legal expert. He completed an undergraduate legal qualification at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, holds an LLM degree from the University of Amsterdam, and a PhD from Queen Mary University of London on the principle of equal treatment in EU tax and State aid law.
He presently serves as director of CFE Tax Advisers Europe, has previously worked for EU institutions, and as a tax inspector. In 2022, Ivanovski coined the phrase “grey zone” in the conversation on the need to regulate the tax advisors’ profession.
The discussion weaves between Ivanovski’s personal journey as a lawyer, and the range of substantive issues he has been involved in, including Apple’s EU tax dispute, the prospective accession of his home country North Macedonia to the EU, and the challenges to the international order more generally.
