Lance is known for his responsiveness to clients’ needs and for the efficiency with which he helps them accomplish their goals. Having clerked at both the trial and appellate levels, Lance is intimately familiar with the inner workings of the judiciary, and he uses that experience to clients’ advantage. He is particularly adept at handling § 101 motions to dismiss, claim construction hearings, and taking and defending §§ 30(b)(1) and 30(b)(6) depositions. Recently, Lance secured a victory for multiple defendants by winning claim construction on key terms in a case brought by a non-practicing entity.
Outside his practice, Lance is heavily invested in the success of Fish & Richardson's summer associate program. He has been involved with recruitment for the program every year he has been with the firm and has served as both an associate mentor and a workflow coordinator. He is also involved in the recruitment of clerks from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Prior to joining Fish, Lance served as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Kara F. Stoll of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Honorable Gloria M. Navarro of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
In his free time, Lance can be found at every home Texas A&M football game.
