Before Brown was AG, he was a partner at Pacifica Law Group. This firm was formed by former partners of K&L Gates, a law firm cofounded by the father of Bill Gates, a board member of the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Planned Parenthood, and United Way; a partner in the buyout of Starbucks; a cofounder of Pacific Health Summit, etc.
