Prior to joining the firm, Kaiser was a partner at Seyfarth Shaw and, before that, a transactional tax attorney at the Wall Street law firm, Cahill Gordon & Reindel.
"I have known Mark Cohen and Larry Gresser since they founded the firm. Over the last 12 years I was constantly impressed by the quality of the lawyers the firm attracted and its strategic expansion into additional practice areas. I am thrilled to bring my transactional real estate and tax expertise and relationships to Cohen & Gresser, and to assist the growth of the firm in these areas," says Kaiser.
