Alexander D. Brown, an associate with Tripp Scott, focuses his practice on complex business litigation and intellectual property litigation. Brown is AV Rated with Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest such rating available to any individual lawyer.  In 2009 and 2010, Brown was also identified to be among the Top Young Lawyers in Florida by the Florida Super Lawyers publication.

Brown has been involved with many cases as trial counsel where he has handled issues ranging from insurance coverage disputes to false advertising claims, federal Lanham Act claims and patent infringement claims. Brown prosecuted a three-year long patent infringement litigation against The Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., where he successfully proved that The Home Depot engaged in willful patent infringement.  The jury awarded the client $15 million following a nearly month long jury trial, additional awards in the amount of $3 million in punitive damages, $2.8 million in attorneys' fees, and $3.1 million of prejudgment interest on top of the jury's verdict.

In addition to his trial work, Brown has handled several appellate cases.  Brown's skills as an appellate lawyer emanate from his serving as a staff attorney for The Honorable Melanie G. May, a judge with Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal.

Prior to joining the firm, Brown served as law clerk for The Honorable Linnea R. Johnson, a Federal U.S. Magistrate Judge with the Southern District of Florida, and thereafter as a litigation clerk with the economic crimes section of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami

Outside of his legal work, Brown remains an active member of the Broward County business community. Brown has been nominated to serve as a member of the board of directors for the late Jim Moran's Youth Automotive Training Center, a charity geared towards helping at-risk youth in the community.  Brown also is involved with the Latin Chamber of Commerce and the Broward Bar Association, and is a member of the Knights of Columbus and Nativity Catholic Church Men's Club. 

Brown holds a law degree, magna cum laude, from Nova Southeastern University, where he graduated in the top four percent of his class.  During law school, he was the senior staff editor for Nova's Journal of International and Comparative Law, and served as the competitions coordinator for Nova's Moot Court Honor Society.  In addition, Brown was the recipient of the Goodwin Scholar award, a full-academic scholarship awarded to those with high academic excellence and strong community involvement.  He was also awarded first place for best oral

advocate at the E. Earle Zehmer Moot Court Competition in 2002, and was nominated Best Individual Attorney at the William W. Daniel National Mock Trial Competition in 2002.

Brown holds a Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Accounting, magna cum laude, from Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida.
