About
Andrea Bull Brainard is an attorney at Deppman Law in Middlebury, Vermont. She represents individuals and businesses in commercial real estate and financing, general corporate transactions, trust and estate planning, and probate matters. Her practice brings together legal questions concerning business assets, property, and planning. She works in areas where ownership and financing decisions may also affect the management and eventual transfer of a client’s estate.
Brainard earned a J.D. from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in 1989 and a B.A. from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1984. She is admitted to practice in Vermont. Her legal education supports the review of agreements, property arrangements, and estate documents. These subjects require careful interpretation because a document’s terms can affect both an immediate transaction and later administration.
Brainard previously practiced at a small law firm representing a national life insurance company in commercial mortgage lending and leasing. Before moving to Vermont, she worked at a Pennsylvania firm on real estate and corporate matters. This experience provides a background in the relationship between property transactions and business commitments. Her current work applies that perspective to financing, corporate transactions, estate planning, and probate matters for individuals and organizations.
Andrea Bull Brainard is a member of the Addison County Bar Association and the Vermont Bar Association. Her professional background connects commercial work with the legal needs of individual clients. A transaction, trust, or estate plan may involve overlapping questions about assets and responsibilities. By working across these related fields, she helps clients consider the documents and arrangements relevant to their current affairs and longer-term planning needs.
