About Bradley Thomas
Bradley Thomas Meissner left Montana for New York to pursue law after completing a political science degree in 2000. He earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2003. The early academic arc — a liberal arts foundation followed by a Columbia law education — set up a career that moves between private practice and in-house roles.
He spent part of his career at Fenwick & West LLP, a firm known for representing technology companies. Meissner's resume also includes time at T-Mobile, where he held an office role. Those experiences gave him exposure to both outside counsel work and corporate legal departments. He has ties to both the New York and Washington bars, maintaining licensure in each jurisdiction.
Meissner has maintained professional association memberships since the mid-2000s, joining one organization in 2004 and another in 2007. He has kept those memberships current. The steady involvement suggests an interest in staying linked to the professional community and its evolving practices, rather than stepping away into purely internal roles.
Columbia's rigorous curriculum and the practical pace of law firms such as Fenwick appear to have shaped how Meissner approaches legal problems. His background combines a public university undergraduate education in political science with an Ivy League law degree. That combination has been mirrored in his career path, which alternates between law firm practice and corporate responsibility.
In his current practice he handles corporate and technology matters. He divides time between matters that require outside counsel experience and issues typically dealt with inside corporate legal teams. Meissner’s work reflects a mix of private practice training and in-house exposure, and he continues to practice in New York and Washington.
