Lindsey Morgan

Lindsey Morgan is an Of Counsel Attorney in Fennemore’s Business Litigation practice group. She represents businesses, business owners, and industry participants in complex disputes, with a practice focused on ownership and control conflicts, commercial litigation, real estate and land related disputes, insurance issues, and outside general counsel support. She regularly handles matters involving fiduciary duties, governance failures, professional liability, insurance coverage, and business breakups. Lindsey is a leader in Fennemore’s developing Forest Industry initiative, which helps timberland owners, forest products businesses, and other working forest economy participants protect land value, manage operational risk, and execute transactions across the West.

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, contracts, 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. That experience informs her approach to risk allocation, dispute prevention, and active litigation strategy.

Lindsey is admitted to practice in California, Washington, and Idaho. She is an active member of the Rotary Club of Coeur d’Alene, where she serves as co-chair of the grants committee. Through the Idaho Academy of Leadership for Lawyers, she is also developing Coeur Foundations, an initiative that helps North Idaho nonprofits build strong legal and governance infrastructure.

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