Robert J. Misey, Jr. is a shareholder in Reinhart's Tax and Corporate Law Practices as well as chair of the firm's International Practice.

Licensed in California, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Washington, D.C., Rob is also a member of the International Fiscal Association, chair of the Tax Committee of International Section of the American Bar Association, and a member of Wisconsin Accounting Examining Board.

Prior to establishing a successful nation-wide practice with Reinhart, Rob was an attorney for the IRS where he served as an international tax attorney and trial attorney and learned invaluable inside knowledge that influences him as an attorney today. While in Washington with the IRS, Rob worked on advance pricing agreements and many other transfer pricing matters. His in-depth knowledge and understanding of the entire spectrum of tax and business law allows him to communicate highly complex international tax matters into easily accessible language to any audience.

As a seasoned attorney, Rob offers clients unparalleled legal representation. He also regularly shares his expertise and experience on international taxation with business with national and international professional audiences. He also teaches international taxation at the University of Wisconsin and University of Alabama law schools.

Rob is extremely client-friendly, personable yet professional, and his great sense of humor makes working with him an enjoyable experience. In addition to Robs professional work, he has appeared as an extra in the movies Forrest Gump, Major League 2, and When Summer Comes (ironically, Rob auditioned for the role of an attorney but was told he did not look like an attorney!).
