Breanne M. Patton

Ms. Patton is a member of the firm’s Real Estate, Energy Infrastructure, Business, and Eminent Domain practices. She counsels commercial and energy clients through complex contracts and business disputes; and on development matters including zoning, planning and land use; and real estate and permitting due diligence in mergers and acquisitions. Ms. Patton also assists energy, utility, communications, and state and municipal clients in acquiring rights through eminent domain for infrastructure projects throughout Michigan. When projects or companies are at stake, her attention to detail and ability to understand her clients’ highly technical needs and diverse experts help her craft solutions and win where it counts: the finish line. She began her career at a large Midwestern law firm, handling construction, employment, and other litigation matters before a foray into the consulting world, where she managed a team of attorneys while providing advice to banking institutions regarding securities and regulatory compliance. Ms. Patton earned her bachelor of arts degree in Economics & Management and Philosophy, magna cum laude, from Albion College and was a merit scholarship recipient prior to receiving her law degree from the University of Notre Dame Law School.
