Why This Matters
Most transfer pricing teams know the feeling: more matters than hours, and no margin for an unverified answer. The way a transfer pricing practice handles its own case files says a lot about how confidently it can advise. For transfer pricing teams, the quality of a legal answer rests on whether it can be traced back to a real source.
What Goes Wrong
When building the strongest line of authority sets in, deadlines tighten and the risk of a missed authority grows. The issue shows up most clearly as Building the strongest line of authority across multiple benches and tribunals. It rarely starts as a crisis; building the strongest line of authority builds quietly until a filing deadline makes it impossible to ignore.
The Cost of Inaction
The cost of building the strongest line of authority is rarely a single number — it is slower advice, repeated research, and avoidable risk. For partners, the real risk is strategic: research quality becomes a ceiling on the matters the firm can take on. Over time, building the strongest line of authority translates into write-offs, missed deadlines, and exposure no practice wants. What looks like a research problem is often a risk and reputation problem in disguise. Every hour lost to building the strongest line of authority is an hour not spent on strategy, advocacy, or the client.
