Ms. Brown previously has been recognized by The Legal 500 as a recommended lawyer in telecom and broadcast and named a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers magazine.  She clerked for Judge E. Grady Jolly on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and worked as Counsel to two Attorneys General at the United States Department of Justice.  Ms. Brown earned her J.D. from Harvard Law School.  She also serves as chair of Wiley Rein’s recruiting committee.
