Chicago, IL and London, UK — September 2025 – Chicago Clearing Corporation (CCC), a leader in securities and antitrust class action claim filing, and TaxTec, an AI-driven innovator in global tax reclamation, announced a strategic partnership designed to maximize recoveries and operational efficiencies for institutional investors worldwide.

With over 30 years of experience, CCC has filed more than 20 million claims, recovered over $3 billion for its 3,200+ clients (including over 42 million individual accounts), and supports more than $7 trillion in assets under management. By pairing its expertise in class action settlements, claim filing, and monetization with TaxTec’s digital-first tax reclamation platform, the partnership aims to give investors end-to-end coverage of two critical areas: securities litigation recovery and tax reclaim.

TaxTec, founded in 2023 by industry veterans with over 250 years of combined experience, is reshaping tax reclamation with AI-powered automation across 100+ jurisdictions and 300+ double-tax treaties. The company’s digital-first platform streamlines withholding tax reclaims, delivers real-time tracking and compliance, and unlocks instant monetization opportunities.

“Every year, billions of dollars go unclaimed—whether from securities settlements or unrecovered withholding tax,” said James Tharin, CEO of Chicago Clearing Corporation. “By combining CCC’s decades of experience in securities and antitrust claim recovery with TaxTec’s cutting-edge technology, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients capture the full value they are entitled to, with less effort and greater confidence.”

"Institutional investors deserve a smarter, more streamlined way to recover what is rightfully theirs," said Stephen Everard, CEO of TaxTec. "By joining forces with CCC, we can deliver unparalleled coverage across both tax and litigation recoveries, helping clients unlock value that was previously too complex or costly to pursue."

Together, CCC and TaxTec offer institutional investors, custodians, asset managers, pension funds, and other financial institutions a comprehensive recovery solution —covering both litigation-driven settlements and tax recovery opportunities.
