About Benjamin Hayes
Benjamin Hayes Brownlow completed his legal education at the University of North Carolina School of Law, earning his J.D. in 2012. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received a B.A. in 2008. Those years in Chapel Hill shaped his approach to practice: methodical, grounded in research, and attentive to the realities clients face.
He has been active in North Carolina’s legal community since 2012. That year marks the start of his membership in both the North Carolina Bar Association and the Wake County Bar Association. In private practice he serves as Of Counsel at Burton Law Office, PLLC. In that role he advises clients, assists in case preparation, and supports the firm’s lawyers on matters that require additional research or specialized input.
Brownlow maintains a membership in Intellectual Asset Management beginning in 2017. That affiliation aligns him with issues around intellectual property, asset valuation, and commercial use of creative and technological works. He draws on that association to stay current on trends affecting intangible assets and the practical implications those trends have for clients and transactions.
He balances statewide involvement with local engagement. As a member of the Wake County Bar Association he participates in the legal conversations shaping practice in the Raleigh area. His membership in the North Carolina Bar Association keeps him connected to developments across the state. Those ties help him bring both statewide perspective and local knowledge to client matters handled through Burton Law Office.
Colleagues describe him as thoughtful in counsel and deliberate in pacing work so that clients receive thorough analysis without unnecessary delay. He combines the research habits honed in law school with a pragmatic sense of how to move a file forward. He currently practices law in North Carolina as Of Counsel at Burton Law Office, PLLC, concentrating on matters involving intellectual asset management and related legal issues for clients in the state.
