I'm concerned
My friend (well she's more of an acquaintance really) and I argued the proper use of "concern" as both a verb and past participle. The sentence in question: "our attorneys don't normally run into issues concerning with patents all that often."
Should the above statement be re-written as "our attorneys don't run into issues that concern with patents all that often"? Is there a difference?
Thank you

Hi and welcome to English Forums. " Note also that your sentence must start with a capital letter, and that "run into" and "all that often" are both in rather informal language. Our attorneys seldom deal with issues that concern patents.

You can use either "concerning" or "that concern" but you must delete the "with."
