Prior to joining Henny Penny in 2016, Wright spent more than 13 years with Faruki+, eventually leading the Cincinnati office. During his tenure with the firm, Wright's litigation practice included advertising, consumer class action defense, and commercial/products liability. His cases involved federal multi-district litigation and technology-related litigation. He has represented publicly traded companies, privately-held companies, and individual clients in complex business disputes in both federal and state courts, and alternative dispute resolution proceedings throughout the United States.
“This move offers advantages for everyone involved,” said Wright. “I can continue to serve Henny Penny as General Counsel, while returning to a more active role in litigation with Faruki+. With Henny Penny’s support, I am returning to the office I helped to grow from the beginning, this time with even more experience with and exposure to the client side of litigation.”

"Brian has been a valuable member of the Henny Penny leadership team and we will miss his daily presence in the office," said Rob Connelly, President and CEO of Henny Penny. "We are thrilled he will continue serving as Henny Penny's General Counsel providing us with excellent legal and business advice. We wish him the very best and support his decision to follow his passion of practicing law."
