Ms. Fair's practice is exclusively plaintiff-oriented, as reflected in her eight tracked appearances, all of which are on the plaintiff side.

Beyond the tracked cases, Ms. Fair has been involved as local counsel in other major patent victories, including verdicts against Samsung totaling over $524 million and a significant verdict against Verizon. No significant record of appearances in IPR or other PTAB proceedings was found.
Admitted to the Texas bar in 2011, Ms. Fair is a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law (J.D., High Honors) and the University of Texas at Austin (B.A., Highest Honors).
