Lindley J. Brenza

Lindley Brenza has practiced with the firm since its inception in 1993. He focuses his practice on litigation strategy and high-stakes jury trials for both plaintiffs and defendants primarily in complex science based cases involving intellectual property, products liability, and contracts. Mr. Brenza was a clerk for Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist of the United States Supreme Court and the Honorable Frank H. Easterbrook of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. He prosecuted as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia (the "Rocket Docket") before returning to Kirkland & Ellis and then forming Bartlit Beck. He has tried and otherwise disposed of many cases involving patents and other intellectual property in diverse areas of technology, and prides himself on simplifying and clarifying explanations of complex technology to make them approachable to a judge and jury.
