Barnes & Thornburg Welcomes Five New Attorneys

Barnes & Thornburg LLP has added new corporate, government services, intellectual property, and litigation attorneys to its Atlanta, Chicago, Indianapolis and Minneapolis offices.

As counsel to companies and investors of all sizes, William Belton, an associate in the Atlanta office, strives to help solve his client’s problems in a targeted and collaborative manner. Using the lessons he learned playing basketball – from high school through college to playing professionally overseas – his objective is to add value to his clients’ businesses by advancing the ball though financings, transactions and related negotiations.

Jake Bonifield, an associate in the Indianapolis office, brings an element of practicality to his government services’ clients. Knowledgeable on issues ranging from environmental policy to public safety to higher education regulations, he is a strategic and results-oriented advocate who focuses on helping clients navigate an increasingly complex web of policy, process, and procedure to achieve their desired results.

Brandon Bridges, an associate in the Chicago office, has always been intrigued by how laws are created and enforced, and because of that he believes every client deserves a knowledgeable and dedicated advocate. He serves as such an advocate, helping corporate clients navigate the often complex challenges of business issues through his commercial litigation practice.

Inventors like working with Sarah Myhrom Eisenman, an associate in the Minneapolis office, because she understands their work, processes and goals. An experienced intellectual property attorney who conducted scientific research as a graduate student studying molecular biology, she is able to gain the trust of her patent clients because she knows the science and the processes behind their inventions.

Throughout his professional life, Tyler Haston, an associate in the Indianapolis office, has learned that when important issues or circumstances arise, it is helpful to have an advocate who can offer guidance and direction. He strives to utilize those skills, which he learned and applied every day as a police officer, now as a lawyer, to meet the needs of his intellectual property clients.
