Brian Sniffen
Licensed in Oregon and Washington
Brian’s practice focuses on intellectual property (IP), business transactions, and privacy. He helps clients obtain and enforce valuable IP rights, comply with privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CPRA, other state-level laws), respond to data-security incidents, and negotiate a wide variety of contracts.
