Patrick Parker advises businesses on complex employment and business matters, with a focus on risk management, internal investigations, and high-stakes disputes.

His perspective is shaped by experience at the highest levels of the legal and corporate world. Patrick began his career with clerkships in the Connecticut Appellate Court and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and later practiced at Clifford Chance LLP in New York, where he handled complex litigation matters.

He transitioned in-house to Merrill Lynch and UBS, where he held senior legal and leadership roles, including Managing Director and Chief of Staff.
