Jason M. Lynch
Associate
Jason’s practice is focused on civil and commercial litigation and appeals.
Before joining Reilly Pozner, Jason was an associate at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, a New York law firm, from 2003 to 2007. There, his practice included matters involving government and regulatory investigations, securities class actions, officer and director fiduciary duty claims, and injunctive actions in the context of public company mergers and acquisitions. In 2002 and 2003, he served as law clerk to the Honorable David M. Ebel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Jason’s pro bono representations include winning the reversal of a client’s felony conviction that had been obtained after a jury trial, a case reported as People v. Graham, 792 N.Y.S.2d 395 (1st Dep’t 2005).
Jason graduated from the Columbia University School of Law, where he was Executive Articles Editor of the Columbia Law Review. In 2000, Jason was awarded the Lumbard Fellowship to work in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and during his tenure at Columbia he received academic honors by being named a James Kent Scholar and Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar.
Prior to attending law school, Jason was an associate at Kekst and Company, widely regarded as the leading corporate and financial communications firm in the U.S. There, he advised companies—from Fortune 100 firms to start-ups—on media and investor relations and on the communications aspects of a wide range of complex business situations and crises, such as mergers and acquisitions, proxy contests, bankruptcies, restructurings, and government investigations.
