Lynda A. Bennett, partner and Chair of Lowenstein’s Insurance Recovery Group, has been recognized by ROI-NJ as an “ROI Influencer” in this year’s list of Women in Business. The publication praises not only Bennett’s work in insurance litigation, but also calls her “a pioneer in podcasting—and a force for helping other women in the profession.”
With more than 25 years of commercial litigation experience, Bennett understands that it is generally not in the best interests of corporate policyholders to engage in protracted and costly litigation, especially when doing so may disrupt business and lead to unwelcome public attention. Her goal is to assess and resolve disputes in a manner that achieves successful outcomes for her clients while minimizing interruptions to business as usual. However, if litigation becomes necessary, she has a keen sense of strategy and will exert maximum leverage to resolve claims as quickly as possible.
Bennett has chaired the Insurance Recovery Group since 2011 and is a member of the firm's Executive Board and Compensation Committee. She also hosts “Don’t Take No for an Answer,” a bimonthly podcast featuring lessons on the nuts and bolts of insurance recovery issues and strategies as well as in-depth discussions on timely insurance issues that includes views from all of the stakeholders in the insurance industry.
Strongly committed to advancing the role of women in the legal profession, Bennett is a founder of the firm's Women’s Initiative Network, is active in legal industry women's groups, and serves as a board member and past president of the New Jersey Women Lawyers Association. She is also an active participant in a firm wide initiative to help junior attorneys develop their networking, business development, and branding skills.
