SAN FRANCISCO -- (May 2, 2022) -- Seyfarth announced today the arrival of partner Arnold E. Brown to its Corporate department in San Francisco. Brown was most recently a shareholder at Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt.

Brown’s practice focuses on corporate governance, commercial transactions, and complex intellectual property agreements for a large range of clients in the technology space. He represents nonprofit technology standards groups, open source software organizations, and startup technology companies in the communications, consumer electronics, semiconductor, computing, blockchain, and software industries.

“Arnold has a robust transactional practice that mirrors a substantial strength area of our growing Corporate team,” said Steven Meier, chair of Seyfarth’s Corporate department. “His distinctive knowledge of tech-driven finance and acquisitions dovetails nicely with Seyfarth’s capabilities.”

“As the technology industry adapts and welcomes new entrepreneurs, Arnold is well-positioned to guide these newly formed companies through all types of patent transactions and intricate IP licensing issues,” said Christian Rowley, managing partner of Seyfarth’s San Francisco office. “He is a tremendous leader in the Bay Area community and we are eager to see his practice flourish on our platform.”

Earlier in his career, Brown was a technology entrepreneur, in-house counsel, and leader of technology standards-setting organizations. He earned a J.D. from the University of California-Berkeley School of Law and received an A.B., cum laude, in Government from Harvard University.

Brown is the latest lawyer to join Seyfarth’s Corporate department following the arrivals of partner Michael Jordan and senior counsel Evan Sarosi last month.
