Our founder
Lance W. Boyer
Lance W. Boyer has spent the better part of nearly a decade where deals are made, contracts are signed, and outcomes are measured in margins — not motions. Before he ever set foot in a law school classroom, he was already negotiating licensing agreements, leading investor meetings, and managing portfolios worth millions across Boston’s real estate and technology sectors.
Born and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts, Boyer built his reputation the hard way: by showing up early, reading every clause, and understanding that the person who controls the details controls the room. At seventeen, he was already managing properties. By twenty, he was driving marketing strategy for one of New England’s most recognized real estate platforms. By twenty-three, he had founded his own consulting firm and was advising everyone from early-stage founders to publicly traded companies.
He negotiated a 10% royalty licensing deal with major manufacturers. He achieved a 98% occupancy rate across a high-value property portfolio. He led teams through IPO preparation, market entry, and the kind of operational complexity that most people only read about in case studies. He did it in the field — not in theory.
Today, Boyer is a Juris Doctor candidate at Suffolk University School of Law, pursuing a corporate and commercial focus. He is not abandoning the world he built. He is arming it. Every contract he reviewed as an operator, every deal he closed as a consultant, every permitting meeting he led on a construction site — it all feeds the same instinct: find the leverage, protect the client, and close.
