Bio
Cindy McAdam
I had the opportunity to work with Brian for nearly four years in my capacity as the General Counsel of Postini, Inc. (acquired by Google in September 2007). Brian is outstanding in so many ways – he basically served as an outsourced in-house patent counsel for Postini. He knew our business and technology as well as our technologists did and had formed an extremely strong relationship with our engineering team. Brian was proactive in meeting with our team to make sure that we were managing our patent portfolio wisely and strategically addressing new technologies. Although he is based out of Dallas, he traveled frequently to meet in person with us – I saw far more of Brian than I did of local counsel here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Brian offers the unique combination of top notch legal skills and sound business advice. I would absolutely work with Brian again, and I look forward to having the opportunity to do so.
Jeff Mankoff
Brian has been my patent attorney since 2001. He is an excellent attorney and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Brian.
