About Brian
Brian Fu combines a broad international education with legal work in two U.S. states. He earned a B.A. in Legal Studies from the University of California, Berkeley and a J.D. from Melbourne Law School. He also studied at Keio University, giving him exposure to legal systems beyond the United States.
His training spans continents and languages. That background underpins his practice in both New York and California, where he is admitted to the bar. He has navigated matters that require an understanding of multiple jurisdictions and legal cultures. Colleagues describe his approach as deliberate and detail-oriented.
Outside the firm, he is involved in several professional organizations. He serves on the board of the Southern California Chinese Lawyers Association. He is an active member of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. He also holds a role with the American Immigration Lawyers Association as a DEI Liaison, a position that places him in conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion within the immigration bar.
His career path has kept him engaged with issues that reach across borders. His education in Australia and Japan complements practice in U.S. jurisdictions. That combination is reflected in day-to-day work that can require attention to policy, regulatory detail, and client needs that cross national lines. He often participates in panels and member meetings through the bar groups he belongs to.
Fu practices at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP. There, his work touches on matters informed by his international studies and his participation in immigration and Asian American legal associations. He has both client-facing responsibilities and roles that involve coordinating with peers and bar organizations.
He brings an interdisciplinary background to his legal practice and to professional service. His memberships and board role place him in the network of lawyers who address immigration-related issues and the interests of Asian American legal professionals. He maintains an active practice at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP focused on cross-border, immigration-related, and regulatory matters.
