Partner, co-head of the firm’s Mergers & Acquisitions group and co-head of the firm’s Retail and Consumer Products Industry group

Mr. Patterson’s practice focuses on mergers and acquisitions, public and private securities offerings, securities compliance and corporate governance matters, for domestic and international clients. He is co-head of Hunton Andrews Kurth’s Mergers & Acquisitions group and co-head of the firm’s Retail and Consumer Products Industry group.

His work spans multiple industries with a particular focus on retail and consumer products companies. He also plays a lead role in developing strategic relationships with some of the firm’s largest institutional clients. Some of these relationships have developed out of his strong interest in working with General Counsels to find more efficient and effective ways to organize law department functions and streamline the inside-outside counsel relationship. Similarly, he has extensive experience with legal project management and creating alternative fee arrangements tailored to meet client needs.

Mr. Patterson's co-authored case study entitled, "Moving From a Cost-Based to a Value-Focused Outside Counsel Strategic Partnership Model" appears in the treatise Successful Partnering Between Inside and Outside Counsel published by Thomson Reuters Westlaw and Association of Corporate Counsel (2021).
