Sam Brown was named partner in January 2023. Sam began his legal career in the fall of 2015, shortly upon graduating from the University of Southern California-Gould School of Law.
At Kramer Brown Hui LLP, Sam represents individual plaintiffs in discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and harassment cases. He also represents construction trade employees in wage and hour class actions and prevailing wage litigation.
Sam plays a central role in the Firm’s federal practice and has litigated civil rights and employment cases in the Central and Northern Districts of California. He leads the firm’s Federal False Claims Act (“Qui Tam”) practice, which exclusively represents whistleblowers seeking to enforce federal and state anti-fraud statutes.
In 2017, Sam served a one-year term as a Law Clerk for the Honorable George Wu in the Central District of California. Upon completion of his clerkship, Sam returned to litigation to fight for worker and employee rights.
Sam’s interest and commitment to worker rights have roots in his family’s ties to the Labor movement. He believes that dignity in the workplace is a right of all workers, not a convenience or privilege reserved for employees of a certain class, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
Sam’s work at the firm builds off a stellar academic performance at USC, where he was elected to the Order of the Coif, and was named Public Interest Law Student of the Year in 2015.
Sam is active in several bar associations, including CELA, Taxpayers Against Fraud (TAF), and the Federal Bar Association. He is currently a member of TAF’s Judicial Education Committee. He also remains active within the USC Gould network, serving on the USC Gould Board of Councilors Clerkship Committee Meeting.
Sam earned his B.A. in English from UCLA in 2007.
He is also a proud husband and father and an ardent supporter of the Chicago White Sox.
