About Brennan R

Brennan R Block built his legal foundation at Creighton University. He earned a B.S. in Business in 2012 and returned to Creighton University School of Law for a J.D., awarded in 2016. While in law school he completed a Business and Tax Law Certification, a specialized credential that shaped his early professional interests.

His first role after law school was as a law clerk in 2016 for Union Pacific Railroad’s real estate group. That position exposed him to property transactions tied to transportation infrastructure. He worked on title matters, easements and transactional documents common to rail property portfolios. The work required attention to detail and an ability to reconcile commercial goals with regulatory constraints.

In 2018 he began practicing as a lawyer at BrownWinick. He handled matters that drew on his business law training and his experience with real estate issues. The move into private practice allowed him to take on transactional work and to advise business clients on organizational and tax considerations. He has navigated contract drafting, entity selection and documentation common to closely held companies.

Block maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He holds current membership in the Iowa State Bar Association and the Polk County Bar Association. He is also a member of the State Bar of Iowa. Those affiliations keep him engaged with continuing education and the statewide legal community.

His background combines business law education, a tax law certification and hands-on experience with railroad real estate. That blend informs how he approaches client matters. He tends to take a practical view, weighing legal options against business realities. Colleagues describe him as methodical and precise when reviewing documents.

He is associated with Brown, Winick, Graves, Gross, Baskerville & Schoenebaum P.L.C., where he practices in Iowa. His current practice focuses on business and tax law matters and on commercial real estate transactions in the Iowa market.
