Specialty & background
Andrea Leigh Fair is an accomplished intellectual property trial lawyer and a name partner at Miller Fair Henry PLLC in Longview, Texas. Her practice is concentrated on high-stakes patent infringement litigation, with a significant focus on proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Her work for plaintiffs has spanned a variety of technology sectors, including wireless communications, LTE network standards, AMOLED screen technology, and targeted internet advertising.
Based on her tracked cases and extensive public record, Ms. Fair's practice is predominantly plaintiff-oriented. She serves as both local and trial counsel for patent holders and technology companies asserting infringement claims against large corporations. Her firm, Miller Fair Henry, was formed from the trial group of its predecessor, Ward, Smith & Hill, PLLC, a boutique nationally recognized for representing plaintiffs in patent disputes. Ms. Fair joined Ward, Smith & Hill in 2016 after practicing at a large firm in Houston. The firm's website notes that it represents both plaintiffs and defendants.
Ms. Fair has been a key member of trial teams that have secured numerous significant jury verdicts. Notable results include a $121.95 million verdict for AlmondNet against Amazon, a $62.7 million verdict for Solas OLED against Samsung, and a $43 million verdict for Intellectual Ventures against T-Mobile. More recently, she was part of teams that won verdicts of $847 million against Verizon for General Access Solutions Ltd., and a combined $524 million against Samsung in two separate trials. Her role often involves developing trial strategy and witness examination. There is no significant record of her appearing in IPR or other PTAB proceedings.
Admitted to the Texas bar in 2011, Ms. Fair earned her J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law. She has been recognized by publications such as Best Lawyers in America and Texas Super Lawyers and was elected to the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
