About Patrick
Biography
I am a member of the healthcare practice team for the University of Washington (UW) Division of Washington State Attorney General's Office. The UW Division provides comprehensive legal services to a preeminent public university with campuses in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bothell.
I advise administrators, educators, graduate professional students, and medical providers within UW’s multi-entity healthcare system, which includes a world-class academic medical center and Level I trauma hospital. Additionally, I advise UW’s health sciences administration and health sciences schools. My diverse practice involves clinical care issues, business transactions, clinical training agreements, medical supply chain contracts, regulatory compliance, and higher education policy issues.
In previous private practice, I advised and represented individuals and companies for compliance, criminal defense, and complex litigation matters. I have extensive courtroom experience as a former King County deputy prosecutor and served as a law clerk in the Western District of Washington. Prior to law school, I served as a Legislative Staff Assistant for the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Labor.
