Overview

Innovative technology companies facing complex patent litigation need an equally innovative legal strategist. Someone as passionate about technology as they are about the law. Someone who is creative and perceptive and uses these skills to design and deliver powerful litigation strategies.

Lauren's skillset is why dozens of Fortune 500 companies trust her to represent them, including AT&T, BMW, Cisco, DISH, Dell, Ericsson, Fujifilm, HP, LG Electronics, Lyft, Motorola, Netflix, Samsung, and Sony. Her practice focuses on high-stakes litigation, with an emphasis in the E.D. Tex., N.D. Cal, D. Del., the International Trade Commission, and the Federal Circuit.

Her notable wins earned her the 2023 Law360 Rising Star award, given to only five IP attorneys nationwide. 

Her recent wins include defeating a $2.6 billion case against DISH. Lauren played a key role in designing the trial strategy and briefing, which the judge commented was instrumental in his decision. In another win for DISH, this time at the ITC, she and her team obtaining a ruling that would exclude Peloton’s, iFit’s, and Mirror’s fitness products from importation into the United States. She also successfully defended Dell during a 10-day jury trial. As embedded appellate counsel, her mid-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law reduced Dell’s liability by over $100 million, and she helped design several trial strategies that resulted in a jury verdict of $2 million instead of the plaintiff’s $46 million demand.

 

Lauren also has a robust appellate practice before the Federal Circuit, where she has been counsel of record in dozens of patent appeals. Before joining Baker Botts, Lauren clerked for the Honorable Raymond T. Chen of the Federal Circuit. With her appellate focus, she regularly argues before the Federal Circuit, including issues of first impression, statutory interpretation, and appeals from both district court and PTAB proceedings.

In addition to her client work, Lauren is also dedicated to her community. She dedicates time to her pro bono work and is proud to have helped secure asylum for a woman who fled Ethiopia to escape ethnic and religious persecution. She spends time leading various firm initiatives and has served on the firm's employment, recruitment, and diversity committees. Lauren also frequently lectures on intellectual property topics, including speaking at AIPLA and the Federal Circuit Bar Association's Bench and Bar. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Federal Circuit Bar Association and the Amicus Committee for the Intellectual Property Owners Association.
