Jamie Szal

As a partner at Brann & Isaacson, Jamie assists businesses in all aspects of state and local tax controversy, from regulatory and administrative proceedings through civil litigation.  In the wake of the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, in which Jamie worked on the team that represented Wayfair, she works with retailers, technology companies, digital service providers of all sizes to strategize multistate state and local tax compliance.  Jamie also aids companies with corporate compliance and governance matters.

Prior to B&I Jamie spent several years at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue as counsel in the Litigation Bureau and Office of Appeals.  She earned her LL.M. in Taxation and Certificate in State and Local Taxation, both with distinction, from Georgetown University Law Center.

Jamie is an active volunteer for her alma mater, Trinity College. She is currently a Trustee of the college, and serves on Trinity’s Women’s Leadership Council. Jamie is a long-standing member of the Board of Directors of Community Dental of Maine, a non-profit dental organization focused on making superior quality dental services available to all Mainers, especially those in need.  Finally, Jamie serves on the Board of Directors and Programming Committee MothersEsquire, where she manages its partnership with the legal blog Above the Law. 

Outside of work, Jamie enjoys raising her fiercely independent, impish daughters; singing; exploring Maine and its many hiking trails with her family and dogs; and attempting to reclaim some lost flexibility with an irregular yoga practice. 

Jamie regularly speaks and writes and is active on LinkedIn.  Her presentations and posts probe state and local tax developments, as well as share her perspectives on life as a full-time #lawmom.
