Moira O'Brien is barred in both Virginia and the District of Columbia.  She joined Marston & McNally in 2016  after nearly a decade of practicing administrative law in the federal government.  Her background includes conducting complex statutory analyses, drafting regulations and legislation, assessing political risk, and evaluating both the legal and policy implication of clients' goals for long-term value.  

Moira focuses her work for Marston & McNally on the licensing and regulatory needs of clients.  She has assisted national and international clients achieve licensure with state alcohol boards as well as with the Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).  She works with producer clients from the business formation stage all the way through the COLA phase with TTB.   Her location in Fairfax makes her accessible to the rapidly growing areas of Loudoun and surrounding counties popular for brewery and vineyard development.  Her extension of Marston & McNally into the northern part of the state also puts her in close proximity to the U.S. Capitol and national level industry associations.
