Shelby Farrand partners with clients in patent, copyright, and trademark litigation matters at the District Court and appellate levels.
Shelby prides herself in maintaining strong client communication. She understands the importance of collaboration in finding the right legal solutions to meet her clients’ strategic objectives. Her legal experience includes drafting dispositive motions, analyzing prior art and preparing invalidity and non-infringement positions, drafting discovery and pre-trial motions, drafting inter partes and post-grant review petitions, and conducting pre-suit analyses.
As a judicial intern to the Hon. Lynn N. Hughes of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Shelby drafted a judicial order and opinion for a 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, wrote a bench memorandum for a summary judgment motion, and acquired familiarity with civil and criminal court proceedings.
Prior to attending law school, Shelby gained extensive industry knowledge in supply chain, utilities, and manufacturing operations while working for a major brewing company. Her experience with corporate target setting and budget management allows her to quickly understand how litigation strategy intertwines with her clients’ business needs.
In her leisure time, Shelby enjoys taking classes at her local barre studio, visiting art museums, watching NFL football, and playing with her beloved chihuahua-pinscher, Ralph.
