OUR HISTORY

The roots of Lynberg & Watkins run deep.  The Firm was founded in the early 1970’s by Charles Lynberg, an experienced trial attorney who had developed his skills as an Assistant US Attorney prosecuting cases against organized crime figures and others.  As a renowned litigator, Mr. Lynberg started Lynberg & Watkins as a practice which focused on the defense of high-profile civil cases.  As the practice grew, new specialties were added, including a nationally recognized insurance coverage team which focused on the expanding area of coverage for long term toxic exposures, a defense team which focused on multiple categories of claims against public entities and a construction team which focused on the defense of construction companies.  These practice area seeds have grown over the years to what Lynberg & Watkins has become today.

Lynberg & Watkins has earned a long-standing reputation of excellence and prominence with clients and the legal community alike. The firm’s core practice is in civil litigation and insurance coverage. We represent public entities, insurance companies and their insureds, private corporations and individuals on a national, regional and local level.

SKILLED ADVOCACY

Our litigation team serves our clients’ interests through creative legal and factual analysis and strategy coupled with skilled courtroom advocacy. We approach every lawsuit with the expectation that the case will be tried.  By developing case themes early, focusing our discovery efforts on the key issues, and demonstrating the ability and drive to take the case to the courtroom, we put our clients in the best position to win – whether at trial, on summary judgment, or through a negotiated resolution.

EXTENSIVE INSURANCE EXPERIENCE

The insurance coverage team routinely advises insurance companies on domestic and foreign policies involving primary, umbrella, and excess coverage, having considerable experience with claims involving environmental, construction, healthcare, general liability, mass torts, product liability and worker’s compensation. They work with underwriters to craft policy language. And when the need arises, the team represents insurers in actions for declaratory relief and bad faith, often in cases presenting novel or unique coverage issues.
