Bryan Amann acts as of counsel to the Firm. Mr. Amann's experience in government, politics and the practice of law have resulted in a unique blend of expertise which international and Fortune 100 companies have frequently trusted to guide them quickly into and through complicated and potentially time consuming and expensive entitlement and administrative processes.
