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.

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.
