Lynn brings excellent language abilities and an understanding of business concerns to corporate work. Before attending law school, Lynn taught English as a Second Language through Teach for America, translated for parents within a large, urban school district, and helped a philanthropic venture clarify data for investors. Lynn knows there is always a way to make sophisticated and technical ideas comprehensible. She uses her skillset as a former educator to efficiently communicate with stakeholders when working towards legal solutions. Furthermore, her training in literary translation gave rise to her detail-oriented nature and awareness of ambiguity – a true asset to clients when drafting commercial contracts.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy is an increasingly more common consideration for those undertaking healthcare M&A or capital investments. The nature of healthcare poses unique ESG risks in terms of community impact and involvement, retention in the workforce, and environmentally friendly buildings and medical supplies. As ESG concerns continue to become more important to investors and acquirors—and as government regulations increasingly necessitate movements towards ESG-friendly business practices—both for-profit and non-profit entities in the healthcare industry need to ensure that proper ESG standards are maintained.
