Minturn Wright

Minturn Wright’s two-plus decades of experience as a lawyer have been almost equally divided between real estate transfers and other transactions on the one hand, and litigation  on the other. He also has had experience dealing with environmental issues, business entities, and trademark issues, particularly licensing.

In his years of practice, Minturn has worked at firms ranging from large international firms to small boutiques. More recently, he was at Brincefield, Hartnett & Kahn, P.C., where he was that firm’s lead lawyer in the District of Columbia, and affiliated with a property tax consultancy, working against over-taxation.

In addition, he has done pro bono work for a wide range of non-profit and governmental organizations, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions, Girls on the Run, and Cleveland & Woodley Park Village.

Minturn earned a B.S. in biology and lettered in crew at Yale. He received an M.S. in biology from the University of Southern California on the way to law school at U.S.C. His law dissertation concerned the ownership of Antarctica and its natural resources.

After finishing law school, Minturn completed his graduate work, earning a Ph.D. in biology, also from U.S.C. His work centered around natural antibiotics from marine invertebrates and on the larvae of calcareous tubeworms.
