Sutherland Launches “Salt Shaker”

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Sutherland SALT Shaker! The Shaker will be different from what you are used to seeing from us. Rather than providing an in-depth analysis of a recent state and local tax development (see Sutherland Legal Alerts) or a new perspective on a state and local tax trend (see Sutherland’s A Pinch of SALT), the Shaker will be an “easy read” – briefly noting the state tax developments and issues that we think are most important to your business.

In addition to providing you information on tax developments, the Shaker will keep you apprised of our comings and goings. For those of you who know Sutherland’s State and Local Tax folks well, we hope you get a kick out of hearing what we are up to. For those of you who do not (yet) know us well, we hope that the Shaker will give us an opportunity to introduce ourselves. We will let you know where we will be (and have been) speaking. We will tell you a little about the individual members of our practice (and our pets!). And, we will share our reactions as to what we are hearing. The State and Local Tax community is close-knit – it is our hope that the Shaker serves to connect us even more.
