About Lucas
Biography
My practice focuses on representing businesses and individuals with their domestic and international intellectual property and business legal needs. Prior to becoming an attorney, I worked with businesses and industry organizations on foreign regulatory compliance and lobbying initiatives, helping them to overcome legislative, regulatory and logistical obstacles to establish favorable trade conditions, ensure regulatory compliance, and maximize foreign market opportunities. Since beginning my legal practice, I have assisted multiple businesses with their domestic and cross-border IP and business legal needs.
