Legal Career
After graduating from Yale Law School, Brownell began his legal career in New York City. He joined the law firm of Lord, Day & Lord, where he specialized in corporate law. His legal expertise and political connections soon led him to become involved in Republican Party politics.
Political Career
Brownell was an active member of the Republican Party. He managed Thomas E. Dewey's presidential campaigns in 1944 and 1948. Although Dewey was unsuccessful in both elections, Brownell's organizational skills and political acumen were widely recognized.
