Brown and Partners is a Maryland-based corporate transactions and intellectual property law firm focused on technology startup companies.

We work with startups, founders and investors from the point of conception to the placement of general counsel, on matters ranging from formation, intellectual property planning and transactions, angel and venture capital, executive compensation and operational and compliance counseling.

Our firm was started in 2013 by Tim Brown (pictured) with the idea of providing startups a more comprehensive, scalable practice dedicated to domain expertise and efficiency. Our billing philosophy is founded on principles of efficiency and we’ve built applications that automate low-level drafting functions and provide our clients with tools for collaboratively executing transactions. This has facilitated working with remote clients across the country.

Since starting the firm, we have worked with over hundreds of software, web and mobile app, hardware, robotics, medical device, clean energy and film ventures in matters ranging from formation planning to acquisition, including a hundred-million dollar acquisition, and have worked with founders, startups, and investors on finance deals ranging from $25,000 to over $10 million.
