Law360 spoke to more than a dozen state tax professionals, who said the SALT practice appears to be fading and that they expect even more departures in the next several weeks.

Andrew Appleby, a professor at Stetson University College of Law who previously worked in the tax groups of Eversheds Sutherland and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, summed up the sentiment of many when he told Law360 that the group’s diminution over the past few years, capped by this latest exodus, is a loss for MoFo.

“This departure represents the end of an era for a group that essentially created law firm multistate tax practice, what was at one point the preeminent SALT group,” Appleby said.
