Dennis Lynch

Dennis J. Lynch practices in the firm’s business and commercial litigation group and as a member of the group’s antitrust team.  The majority of his practice is devoted to complex civil and antitrust litigation.

His antitrust litigation experience includes both defending against and prosecuting nationwide and regional antitrust claims, both in the private and class action context.  Much of his antitrust practice is specifically devoted to representing the litigation interests of corporate clients that choose to “opt out” of class actions to pursue separately their own antitrust claims.  In addition to his complex business and antitrust work, Mr. Lynch’s practice also includes defending catastrophic loss and fatality claims in trucking cases, as well as representing the governmental litigation interests of corporate clients.  He also serves as co-chair of the firm’s trucking and transportation practice group.

Mr. Lynch received his B.A. in English from Villanova University in 1986, where he was a member of the Honors Program and of the Dean's List.  He worked as a book editor for Texas A&M University Press before attending South Texas College of Law, where he received his J.D. in 2000. While in law school, Mr. Lynch was the recipient of the C.J.S. Awards for Torts and Property, and served as a Langdell Scholar Property Instructor. He spent his last semester of law school as a visiting student at the University of South Carolina School of Law, where he argued before the South Carolina Supreme Court as a Finalist in the J. Woodrow Lewis Moot Court Competition.
