Patrick counsels owners, construction managers, general contractors, and subcontractors in disputes related to large-scale construction projects ranging from mass transit infrastructure to heavy industrial and commercial construction projects. He provides representation related to disputes in federal and state court and before administrative tribunals such as the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.

In addition to his construction practice, Patrick also advises higher education institutions and affiliated organizations regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compliance issues. He provides guidance regarding permissible and impermissible NIL activities under state NIL laws, NCAA Bylaws, and other NCAA policies to enable entities to mitigate the potential risk of NCAA and state attorney general enforcement activity. Patrick draws upon his NIL experience to maintain the State and Federal NIL Legislation Tracker and regularly contributes to the Highway to NIL podcast and NIL Revolution blog.

Patrick leads an active pro bono practice focused on education, child advocacy, and civil rights. He partners with organizations serving these causes, including the Education Law Center, Support Center for Child Advocates, and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, to assist with matters ranging from providing pro bono direct representation to leading education and outreach efforts.
