Brown Rudnick LLP

Promotional round sees four join the partnership

International firm Brown Rudnick LLP has expanded the partnership with the promotion of four lawyers in its London, New York and Boston offices.

In London, Anupreet Amole has moved to a partner position. Having joined the firm from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in 2017, Anupreet focuses his practice on white collar crime cases, advising companies and individuals on business crime and corporate compliance issues. He also handles investigations into allegations of bribery and corruption, fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

A double promotion was announced in the New York office, with Kenneth Aulet and Chelsea Mullarney both joining the partnership. Kenneth focuses his practice on bankruptcy and bankruptcy litigation, while commercial litigator Chelsea handles contract and business disputes, financial services, and unfair competition cases. Meanwhile, in Boston Zachary D. Hyde has become a partner, and will continue to advise clients on intellectual property protection strategies.

Brown Rudnick chairman and CEO, Joseph F. Ryan, commented: ‘We are very pleased to welcome these four attorneys to our firm's partnership. Each of them exemplifies our firm's strong dedication to professional excellence and will strengthen our ability to provide a high level of client service in key practice areas.’
