OVERVIEW

Brandt Hershman navigates the intricate landscape of federal and state government regulations, guiding clients through complex issues in tax, energy, telecommunications, aviation, defense, national security, and agriculture. His 18-year tenure in the Indiana Senate, including roles as Senate Majority Leader and Chair of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Committee, provides him with invaluable insights into the legislative process.

This blend of political acumen and policy experience benefits clients by offering them a unique perspective on regulatory challenges. Brandt's career, spanning from the White House to the Indiana Statehouse, allows him to craft strategies that align with both legislative realities and client objectives. His work has tangibly impacted industries, as evidenced by the $5 billion investment in telecommunications infrastructure sparked by his deregulation legislation.

In the tax and public policy arena, Brandt stands out as a sought-after speaker and advisor. He has shared his insights at national and international forums, testifying before state legislatures on energy and tax issues. This broad exposure keeps him at the forefront of policy trends, frequently enabling him to anticipate regulatory shifts that could affect his client's interests.

Beyond his legislative accomplishments, Brandt's diverse background enriches his practice. His roles as a Barnes & Thornberg managing partner and general counsel of The DeNovo Group, and his tenure at Indiana University's law school, have honed his legal and management skills. Additionally, executive certificates from Harvard and Cornell in tax policy and financial management further bolster his ability to tackle multifaceted regulatory challenges.

He is not regularly admitted to practice in the local courts of the District of Columbia and pursuant to Rule 49 limits his practice in the District of Columbia to lobbying federal agencies and the United States Congress.
