About Cindy N.
Cindy N. Brown built her path to the law in New York. She completed undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Albany before earning her J.D. from Charleston School of Law in 2012. Her time in law school included an externship that placed her inside an in-house legal team early in her career.
Her first post-law school role came in 2012 as a general counsel extern for Blackbaud, Inc., where she worked on projects that exposed her to corporate legal operations. In 2014 she served as a judicial intern at the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Fourth Department. That year in the courthouse offered firsthand experience with appellate procedure and the drafting of legal memoranda for judges.
In 2015 Brown moved into private practice and legal services roles. She worked as a contract lawyer for Epiq Systems and, that same year, became a senior associate at Tilem & Associates, PC. Across these positions she handled tasks common to litigation and transactional practice, including document work, research, and supporting case preparation. Colleagues describe her as steady and methodical in managing case files and deadlines.
Brown is admitted to practice in New York. She is an active member of several bar organizations, including the Westchester Bar Association, the Metropolitan Black Bar Association, the New York County Lawyers Association, and the New York State Bar Association. These memberships keep her engaged in professional development and local legal networks.
Her background spans courthouse work, corporate externship experience, and steady practice in a law firm setting. The arc of her career shows an early interest in appellate work and a transition into firm-based practice that deepened after 2015. She has continued to build practical skills in research, client communication, and case management while maintaining connections to professional groups across the New York legal community.
Brown practices at Tilem & Associates, PC, where she handles matters that arise in New York courts and advises clients on legal issues within the state. Her current practice focuses on representing clients and managing litigation-related work in New York.
