Terrence Talbot is a cofounder and partner of Lucas LLP. His legal practice is focused primarily on the software development industry and is complemented by his talents and experience as an award winning software architect and engineer.

Terrence is equally at home negotiating deal terms in the boardroom as he is architecting and refining a software application's code with a team of engineers, a combination that is unusual and extraordinarily helpful in today's technology-driven markets.
