Our Spotlight series highlights the careers and lives of tax professionals around the world. This week’s Spotlight is on Brian Ginsberg, a partner in the appellate practice group at Harris Beach PLLC in New York.
Ginsberg leads appeals in federal and state courts across the country spanning a broad range of legal issues, including tax law. He joined the firm in May 2022 after a long tenure in the New York solicitor general’s office, where he briefed and argued several high-profile corporate tax appeals on behalf of the state’s tax department.
When he’s not working, you might find Ginsberg listening to a true-crime audiobook, running on the treadmill, or rooting for his hometown baseball team, the Chicago White Sox.
What’s your official title and what does it mean? I am a partner in the appellate practice group at Harris Beach PLLC. In that role, I work with talented colleagues across the firm’s diverse array of industry teams and substantive practice groups—including our tax practice group—to litigate appeals and critical motions, strategize on complex legal issues arising during trial, and counsel clients facing investigatory or regulatory scrutiny from tax authorities and other agencies. I also mentor junior lawyers who express interest in appellate practice.
Free time: book, audiobook, or podcast? Lately, I’ve been enjoying audiobooks and podcasts. My audiobook tastes tend toward true crime, whereas for podcasts I prefer comedy.
