About Brian V
Brian V Powers took an unconventional route into law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from Syracuse University in 1992, then returned to school and finished his J.D. at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2002. The aggregate of technical and legal background has shaped how he strategies issues that require each actual analysis and clear legal judgment.
He started his professional legal career in personal practice and spent time at Taft, Stettinius and Hollister, becoming a member of the company in 2005. That knowledge in a bigger company exposed him to the needs of company clients and the routines of a longtime legal proceedings practice. In 2009 he opened The Law Office of Brian V Powers and has practiced under that name since. He operates in Indiana and keeps active ties to the nearby bar network.
Powers holds memberships in numerous professional organizations. He is a member of the American Bar Association and is concerned with the ABA’s Cyberspace Law Committee. He also belongs to the Indiana Bar Association, the Indianapolis Bar Association and the Hamilton County Bar Association. Those affiliations recommend sustained involvement in each statewide and countrywide legal conversations, especially where rising technology and law meet.
His background in environmental engineering informs his legal work. The engineering education teaches awareness to technical element and a methodical way of approaching regulatory and factual problems. That perspective can be useful when cases involve technical history, regulatory schemes or detailed factual reconstructions. At the identical time, participation within the Cyberspace Law Committee factors to a curiosity in legal questions tied to technology, information and online exercise.
Over the years Powers has balanced work in large company settings and solo practice. He handled things as an attorney at Taft early in his career and later transitioned to operating his personal workplace. He continues to serve clients from his Indiana practice, drawing on both his technical background and his legal background. His current practice addresses matters on the intersection of law, technological know-how and law.
