She brings particular depth to executive disputes, discrimination, retaliation and pay equity matters and regularly handles trade secret misappropriation and restrictive covenant claims, including large-scale employee raiding actions.

Lindsay’s litigation experience spans single-plaintiff, multi-plaintiff and class and collective actions in courts nationwide and before FINRA, AAA, JAMS, the EEOC and various state and city agencies. She is an experienced trial lawyer who has taken a full range of employment claims to verdict, including discrimination, retaliation, harassment and trade secrets matters. In 2026, Lindsay was individually recognized by Legal 500 for excellence in employment litigation. Beyond the courtroom, Lindsay counsels domestic and international clients on the full spectrum of employment matters affecting their business, including employee discipline and termination, internal investigations, employment contracts, legal compliance and policy creation. She also serves as a seasoned crisis and relationship management partner, providing strategic, practical guidance to employers facing reputational risk.

Throughout her practice, Lindsay understands and addresses the unique needs of clients across diverse industries, including financial services, media and entertainment, advertising, tech, healthcare and sports. Committed to pro bono service, Lindsay has represented domestic violence survivors, wrongfully convicted prisoners and asylum seekers. She also advises nonprofit organizations throughout New York City on employment matters.
