Marc E. Sorini was featured in the May 23 issue of The Am Law Daily in an interview regarding his role as head of McDermott’s Alcohol Beverages and Products Group. When asked how he found his niche, Mr. Sorini noted, "I decided that general litigation was not right for me. Meanwhile, the craft beer movement was growing rapidly…I thought, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could have these folks as clients and immerse myself in the industry.' I started writing articles for the local brewspapers--the local beer rags--and that gave me the opportunity to actually talk to small brewery owners about their legal issues and get a practical, worms-eye view of the business."

Mr. Sorini represents malt beverage producers & distributors in these proceedings, where malt beverages are treated as distilled spirits as opposed to beer. "What we're talking about here...are social policy issues, certainly not something one would expect the tax board to be leading policy-making on. This is something frankly the Legislature out to be doing," Mr. Sorini said.
