Their expertise and knowledge in the field of state taxation is the best I know of, especially as it relates to the direct marketing industry.

Another significant advantage is the expertise of Brann & Isaacson in a broad range of legal services, thus avoiding the need to go to different firms for different needs (e.g., planning, technical research, settlement structuring, litigation, etc.).” BRANN & ISAACSON RESPONDS TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS COVID-19 LEGAL RESOURCE LIBRARY In this time of crisis, Brann & Isaacson strives to be a source of reliable information about issues affecting our clients and their communities.
