Lucas Peterson
Senior Attorney
Lucas Peterson is a commercial litigator based in Dykema’s Dallas office. Lucas represents companies, investors, and individuals in complex business disputes, helping clients navigate high-stakes matters from the first sign of conflict through motion practice, trial, and appeal. Lucas tailors his approach to each client’s unique interests and objectives—he tries cases when trial serves the client’s interests and positions them for a desirable resolution when it doesn’t.
Lucas handles matters across the spectrum of commercial disputes, including business divorce and other membership, shareholder, and partnership conflicts; intellectual property and trade secret misappropriation; non-compete and other restrictive employment covenants; fraud; and construction. He also represents fiduciaries, beneficiaries, and other parties in trusts and estates litigation.
Lucas has first-chair trial experience and has represented clients at every stage of litigation and arbitration. He also counsels businesses to reduce legal risk before conflicts arise, advising on corporate governance and contracts to prevent disputes before they start.
Lucas has represented clients in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive manufacturing and distributing, commercial real estate, construction, energy, healthcare, financial services, hospitality, telecommunications, and transportation.
