Nick S. Mancuso joined the Lanier Law Firm's Palo Alto office in 2010. He is a member of the firm's high-stakes intellectual property litigation group.

Nick is a graduate of The University of Oregon School of Law, where he concentrated on intellectual property law. He was also the Managing Editor of the Oregon Review of International Law and won, along with a partner, the school's Moot Court Negotiation Competition. Nick went on to successfully represent Oregon in a regional competition held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Prior to law school, Nick was a litigation paralegal at two large international law firms, where he provided outstanding litigation support for many high profile cases that eventually went to trial. Further, he administered and managed trial support for multiple patent cases tried in United States Federal District Courts, including the Northern District of California and the Eastern District of Texas.

Nick is admitted to the bar for California and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Nick earned a B.A. in Public Relations/Journalism from the Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California, which allows him to bring a very unique and personal technique to his litigation work. His varied background provides a well-rounded understanding of the entire legal process, making him a key communicator with his clients, a jury or in negotiations. He currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
