WASHINGTON, D.C., August 13, 2025 – Lauren Dreyer, a Partner in Baker Botts’ Intellectual Property practice, has been named to Bloomberg Law’s prestigious 2025 “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40” list. The annual list recognizes the most promising young attorneys who have demonstrated excellence in practice, leadership, and impact within their organizations and communities.

Lauren is a seasoned trial lawyer known for her strategic advocacy and precision in high-stakes IP litigation. Her recent victories include a landmark jury trial for DISH in 2023, where her team secured summary judgment on key issues, eliminated $2 billion in potential exposure, and ultimately convinced the judge to overturn the liability finding, an unprecedented move in his decades on the bench. The case earned national recognition and contributed to Baker Botts being named IP Groups of the Year.

In a 2021 trial for Dell, Lauren achieved a mid-trial judgment of no willfulness, cutting over $100 million in potential exposure and positioning her client for a defense verdict. Her ability to distill complex technical issues into compelling narratives made her a trusted advocate for major technology clients.

Beyond her litigation successes, Lauren is deeply committed to pro bono work. She led a team representing an Ethiopian woman in her asylum proceedings during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, securing a life-changing victory under extraordinary circumstances.

Bloomberg Law’s “40 Under 40” honorees are selected based on nominations from peers and industry leaders, and are recognized for their professional achievements, leadership potential, and contributions to the legal field.
