Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP in Who's Who Legal: Georgia
The firm first came to prominence for its tax practice and the Atlanta office stays close to its roots: we list three partners in Corporate Tax. Jerold Cohen, a former chair of the Tax Section of the ABA and the American College of Tax Counsel, drew considerable praise. Rated by one leading source as “dean of the corporate tax bar in Georgia” he is the chapter’s most nominated individual. Head of the tax practice group, Reginald Clark, and Matthew Gries both collected a significant number of recommendations.
Our research also indicates that Sutherland Asbill’s Atlanta office maintains a strong merger and acquisition practice with three attorneys nominated. The trio is led in the voting by the “very talented” Mark Kaufman – one of the practice area’s high flyers, according to our sources. Thomas Herman, head of the M&A group, and Robert Pile join Kaufman in the chapter.
The firm is also represented in Arbitration, Commercial Litigation, Competition, Construction, Patents, Real Estate and Trademarks.
