Chair, Insurance Coverage Practice

With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, corporate policyholders depend on Lynda Bennett to aggressively negotiate, litigate and resolve their complicated insurance disputes with maximum recoveries and litigation only when necessary. With more than 18 years of commercial litigation experience, Lynda understands that it's generally not in the best interests of corporate policyholders to engage in protracted and costly litigation that distracts them from their business. She has a reputation for reasonably assessing and resolving insurance coverage disputes and achieving practical results for her clients.

Lynda has obtained significant recoveries for clients in environmental, asbestos, construction defect, mass tort, product liability, and D&O and professional liability cases. She also counsels clients with respect to contractual insurance requirements, new insurance products, innovative risk management tools and assessment of their insurance programs.

Throughout her career Lynda has played a prominent role in the legal community, and currently serves as a board member of the New Jersey Women Lawyers Association, where she has also served as president.
