LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that partners Patricia Brum and Rose B. Sorensen have been selected for inclusion in Los Angeles Business Journal's 2025 Women of Influence: Attorneys. This list recognizes outstanding women leaders based on their professional achievements, community leadership, milestones, and notable contributions to their industry over the past year.
Brum, a Brazilian native, is a business litigator with extensive experience helping companies resolve high-stakes contract and consumer disputes. She is part of a select group of attorneys advising some of the largest financial institutions in the country on consumer class actions.

Brum is a strong advocate for the advancement of women in the legal profession and was recognized for her mentorship of women attorneys when she received Snell & Wilmer's Mentor Award in 2021. She also advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession, and served as Co-Chair of the firm's LGBTQ+ affinity group (SNELLGBTQ) until 2024. Brum earned her J.D., graduating first in her class, from Southwestern Law School, her M.B.A. from the University of Southern California, and her B.A. from the University of Brasilia in Brazil.
