At my brothers bbq joint they like to present their brisket sliced.  I'm not an expert, so all I can tell you is what I observed. 

Once finished smoking, the briskets are allowed to rest for about an hour and then placed in the walk-in cooler overnight.  The next morning they double wrap them in plastic and the briskets are set to go . . . either to remain in the cooler until needed or placed on a baking pan in the oven to be brought back up to serving temperature before being placed in a food warmer when the restaurant opens.

It's important that you have the brisket on a stiff tray during the process.  The plastic wrap never comes off until ready to carve.  It will help the meat retain it's juices.
