Mr. Lynch began his legal career with a mid-sized wireless
and telecom boutique law firm in Washington, DC, where he
represented large telecommunications carriers, including Deutsch
Telekom and Europe Online, in various strategic transactions.
The most notable, and most interesting, was DT's investment
in Sprint and the formation of the worldwide carrier, Global
One, between DT, Sprint and France Telecom. Mr. Lynch was
an integral member of a relatively small team representing
DT and participated first hand in negotiations that took place
around the globe.
In 1996, Mr. Lynch co-authored and edited the Telecommunications
Act Handbook: A Complete Reference for Business, a book
describing the principal provisions of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. The book became an instant best-seller among
individuals and companies involved in telecommunications,
and was reviewed favorably in the industry.
Mr. Lynch moved to a smaller telecom boutique firm in 1996,
where he practiced telecommunications law for another two
years, representing Fortune 500 companies in the purchase
of telecommunications services from major carriers. By representing
buyers in the purchasing process, Mr. Lynch developed a thorough
understanding of the customer's perspective and has successfully
transferred that understanding to helping carriers meet the
needs of their customers, while mitigating business and legal
risks.
Mr. Lynch graduated from Georgetown University Law Center
in Washington, DC in 1993. He graduated cum laude (with
honors) and was named to the Dean's List. Prior to receiving
his law degree, Mr. Lynch graduated magna cum laude from
Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, with
a Bachelors of Science in Accounting. He was named Outstanding
Graduate in Accounting for achieving the highest grade point
average among accounting majors, and was awarded the Donovan
& Seimans Business Administration Award for the second highest
grade point average in the College of Business. Mr. Lynch
received the American Accounting Association's Merit Scholarship
and was granted the University President's Citation for Leadership
at LMU. He is a member of three honor societies and was named
to the Dean's List all eight semesters at Loyola Marymount
University.
Mr. Lynch opened his own telecommunications law practice
in 1998, in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Mr. Lynch's
reputation for excellence and his knowledge of the industry
have continued to attract new clients and retain existing
ones. Mr. Lynch is a member of the District of Columbia Bar.
the Virginia State Bar, the Maryland Bar, and the Bar of the
