Lindsey Morgan

Lindsey Morgan is an Of Counsel Attorney in Fennemore’s Business Litigation practice group. She focuses her practice on the defense of real estate and insurance professionals, complex business and ownership disputes, and commercial litigation involving significant financial and operational risk. She regularly represents businesses and individuals in disputes involving fiduciary duties, professional liability, insurance coverage, and control or ownership conflicts. Her clients include national real estate brokerages, insurance carriers and brokerages, and public utilities. She is admitted to practice in California, Washington, and Idaho.

Prior to joining Fennemore, Lindsey litigated complex commercial matters in California and Washington and served as Outside General Counsel for closely held businesses and professionals, advising on litigation risk, governance issues, and dispute avoidance. She has extensive experience representing insurers and insureds in insurance coverage litigation and defending real estate brokerages and their employees and agents in civil litigation. Her coverage experience informs her litigation strategy and allows her to advise clients on risk allocation and dispute prevention alongside active litigation. Lindsey holds an inactive real estate broker license in both Idaho and California, offering industry insight without competing with her clients’ interests.

Lindsey is an active member of the Rotary Club of Coeur d’Alene, where she serves as co-chair of the grants committee. As part of her service project through the Idaho Academy of Leadership for Lawyers, she is developing Coeur Foundations, a community-focused initiative that helps small and mid-sized nonprofits in North Idaho build strong legal and governance infrastructure, enabling effective leadership and long-term organizational stability.

Outside of her practice, Lindsey enjoys CrossFit, golf, and gardening, and tries to keep up with her sons.
