Our Process
Solving the right problem.
I believe in addressing the root causes of my clients' legal problems. My business and technical knowledge help me understand my clients' legal needs in context and recognize when legal problems call for business or technical solutions.
At the right time.
The right time to discover that your brand infringes on somebody's trademark is before investing in marketing or manufacturing. And the right time to learn about internet privacy laws is before you are sued for wrongfully handling user data. I work with clients to address potential legal problems and prevent them from becoming actual legal problems.
With the right tools.
Computers and humans have different strengths and limitations. Using cutting-edge software makes my legal work better and more efficient. As a software developer myself, I know how to leverage technological innovations responsibly to serve my clients.
And the right team.
Like other entrepreneurs, I use freelancers and consultants to complement my skills. Depending on the type of case, I may bring in an accountant, investigator, or even an outside lawyer with particular expertise in a specific area. Every matter is different, and I work with each of my clients to ensure I have the right team working for them.

Brendan Bernicker
After graduating at the top of my class from Penn State, I attended Yale Law School. I was then selected from among other Yale Law graduates for a Liman Fellowship, which funded my work in the Supreme Court and Appellate Program at the MacArthur Justice Center. I left MacArthur in 2023 to found Bernicker Law PLLC.
In my transactional and advisory practice, I have assisted startups, small businesses, and nonprofits with a range of matters, including incorporation, mergers & acquisitions, trademark clearance & registration, and data privacy. I have also advised individuals, including professional athletes in the United States and England, on immigration, estate planning, and tax matters.
As a litigator, I have represented people in civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings at every level, from trials in county courts to appeals in the Supreme Court of the United States.
I am licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia and to represent people before federal agencies, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the First, Second, and Sixth Circuits, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. I am also qualified to advise clients on English law.
In addition to practicing law, I run a startup that is creating a collaborative legal writing platform for lawyers. I previously developed custom software tools for other legal services providers, including a tool that uses AI to summarize judicial opinions and another tool that partially automated the process of reviewing medical records in a high-profile class action lawsuit.
