Bio
Brian Murray
I have consulted with Ellen on a couple of matters. I find her to be insightful and creative and an asset to any litigation endeavor.
Paul Whalen
I've worked with Ellen Lyons for a number of years as co-counsel on various cases across a range of industries and disputes. She is an extraordinarily conscientious litigator--with a strong commitment to smart, aggressive advocacy. Prepared Always prepared, Ellen has that rare ability to think on her feet and able to roll with unexpected developments in fast-paced legal environments. Specifically, I know Ellen to be a person of great native intelligence and wide personal interests. I know that she brings contextual knowledge to the table that enlivens her writing, informs her analysis, and sharpens her legal advice. I can say without hesitation that her understanding of the law is extensive, but it's eclipsed by her understanding of people and the world (especially opposing counsel and the judiciary). I could not think of a lawyer that I could recommend more highly.
