About Brad
Brad Peck studied mathematics at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1976 with an A.B. The years that followed took him to Harvard Law School, where he earned his J.D. in 1984. Those academic credentials anchored a legal career that has remained tied to practice in California.
He moved into private practice after law school and built a career that led to partnership at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. Over time he has taken on the responsibilities that come with senior roles in large firms: managing client matters, mentoring younger lawyers and helping shape firm strategy. His name is associated with the firm’s roster of partners rather than with a public list of headline cases.
Peck is admitted to the California bar and maintains his practice there. He has navigated the institutional and regulatory environments that govern counsel in the state. That experience has informed how he handles the everyday demands of client representation and the administrative duties that accompany partnership.
Peers and colleagues describe him as steady and practical in the office. He balances the technical rigor that his undergraduate study in mathematics required with the analytic demands of legal work. Over decades at the firm he has contributed to teams handling transactions and other commercial matters, and he has taken part in the internal governance that keeps a large law practice functioning.
Outside formal titles, Peck’s path is typical of lawyers who combine elite legal training with long-term firm practice. He began with a liberal arts degree and moved through a top law school into private practice. He now serves as a partner at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP and continues to practice law in California as part of the firm’s partner ranks.
