About Lindsay
Biography
I have served as class counsel in numerous class actions in the employment discrimination and employee benefits fields, including cases brought on behalf of employees and job applicants in cases alleging employment discrimination based on race, nationality, and gender; pension plan participants and beneficiaries arising from imprudent investment of plan assets; and employees who have suffered vacation pay forfeitures in vacation benefit plans sponsored by Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts.
