About me

Brian Shew

Brian Shew has been fortunate to work on sophisticated projects for a wide variety of corporations and to develop expertise in several legal and tax areas.  This combination of big-firm partner-level experience with small firm overhead allows him to provide more personal attention with lower overall fees.

His skills were honed in the Deloitte Washington National Tax office, followed by the International Tax and Global Strategies Group where he worked on numerous acquisitions, dispositions and restructurings.  He gained crucial experience establishing and executing complicated structures when he worked in the Corporate Taxes group at General Electric and at Koch Industries.  At Koch Industries he was a lead planner for a wide variety of multi-national businesses.

Brian Shew’s law and accounting degrees are from Indiana University, where he received the Feeny Tax Award.  His LL.M in taxation is from Georgetown University.  In addition, he is a Certified Public Accountant. He is a member of the California, Indiana, and Virginia Bars, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the American Bar Association Section of Taxation.  Also, he is a member of the Section of Taxation’s Foreign Activities of US Taxpayers Group (FAUST), where he provides comments on certain IRS regulatory projects.  He also practices in the area of executive compensation and he was a key contributor to the executive compensation treatise BNA Deferred Compensation Arrangements (Portfolio 385).

In his free time he works on his golf game and goes skiing and hiking with my wife and two children.
