About
Nick brokaw, partner
As an attorney and partner at the firm, Nick Brokaw brings a nuanced understanding of state government, well-honed advocacy skills and a pragmatic, problem-solving approach to serving his clients.
Informed by professional experiences that have spanned the intersection of politics, law and public policy, Nick represents some of the world’s largest companies, trade associations, non-profit organizations, and one of California’s most respected Native American tribes.
His practice encompasses legislative, policy, regulatory, and procurement matters. Clients also turn to Nick for assistance with sensitive, multi-faceted political matters that require close coordination with legal, crisis management and campaign professionals.
Prior to joining Sacramento Advocates, Nick was a corporate attorney at the Los Angeles office of an international law firm, where he counseled a range of companies, from start-ups to hedge funds and Fortune 100 corporations, in white-collar government investigations, multi-jurisdictional class action defense work and sports-related intellectual property matters.
Before beginning his legal career, Nick served as a political strategist and consultant for a tribal nation, where he represented the tribe on political, public policy and grassroots issues at the local, state and federal level. He has also worked on statewide and federal campaigns, and spent a summer in law school working for the Golden State Warriors as the organization initiated its effort to build a new arena in San Francisco.
A second-generation lobbyist, Nick’s entry into state politics traces back to 2006, when he wrote for Capitol Weekly, a non-partisan news publication covering California government and politics.
Nick holds undergraduate degrees in Political Science and Sport Management from UC Santa Barbara, where he graduated summa cum laude. He holds a law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), where he served as the Editor-In-Chief of a law review, Vice President of the law school’s chapter of the American Constitution Society, and co-founded a national law conference that continues to this day.
He is an active member of the State Bar of California.
