Richard’s Background
Richard Eldredge Senior Partner Founder

Brandon Leavitt

Managing Partner, Trademark & IP Litigation Attorney

Brandon Leavitt’s early exposure to the law came in the form of pointless arguments with his peers and family. After briefly considering a career in biochemistry in college, Brandon switched his major to law after realizing he was the dull guy at social gatherings.

Brandon is an Eagle Scout who is always happy to share his wisdom with everyone who would listen, but he knows he needs to tone it down when his wife tells him, “don’t you lawyer me.” Brandon’s final meal if he could only eat one thing for the rest of his life would be pizza.
