While the legal team cannot substitute for local counsel on specific problems, it can provide a first response on generic regulatory or legal questions. Call at 800/749-4228 for Shannon Phillips, email sphillips@ibat.org, or Kelly Goulart, email kgoulart@ibat.org.
The Legal Department provides technical support to IBAT and its members by monitoring and responding to regulatory developments, filing "friend of the court" briefs, and serving as corporate counsel to the association and its affiliated organizations.
