As senior counsel in the Firm's Atlanta office, Mr. Brazier represents generic pharmaceutical clients, medical device manufacturers and an array of other product manufacturers and corporate businesses across the country. He also litigates tax disputes in state and federal courts.
Mr. Brazier regularly litigates Lanham Act matters in federal courts, and he has a deep understanding of the different FDA regulatory requirements for drugs and devices. His work often includes cases alleging patent and trademark infringement, as well as partner and shareholder disputes, and covenants not to compete. Mr. Brazier was the attorney in Georgia's landmark 1991 restrictive covenant case Jackson and Coker vs. Hart and Lindsay, in which the Georgia Supreme Court held that the Georgia legislature's attempts to modify laws relating to covenants not to compete were unenforceable under Georgia's constitution. This case, and Mr. Brazier's win of it, has been regularly cited ever since. In 2010, Georgia amended their constitution.
Mr. Brazier holds an LL.M. in taxation. This combination of litigation and tax strength gives his clients the unique advantage of having an attorney who can weigh the value of litigation against its potential pitfalls, as well as transition cases out of litigation and into a business deal.
