Former Attorney General of the United States, Loretta Lynch advises clients on complex government and internal investigations and high-stakes litigation matters, including those that implicate significant regulatory enforcement issues, that involve substantial reputational concerns, and that are international in scope. Loretta chairs the Civil Rights and Racial Equity Audits practice. Clients note that Loretta “is flawless in presentations and brings gravitas and experience to any situation” adding “people go to her for her extraordinarily broad experience and truly unique service - she is phenomenal.” Since her return to private practice in 2019, Loretta has helped lead several of the most sensitive investigations and reputation-threatening litigation and regulatory enforcement matters in recent years.

  • BlackRock retained Loretta to help lead an internal investigation into former staffers’ allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination.

  • Syracuse University in an independent review of its Department of Public Safety’s handling of bias-related incidents raised by students during the 2019/2020 academic year.

  • North Carolina State University in an NCAA investigation concerning money and other benefits allegedly offered to a former student-athlete in violation of NCAA regulations.

  • A Fortune 50 energy company in an internal investigation regarding discrimination and retaliation claims.

  • The McDonald’s Corporation in three high-profile racial discrimination lawsuits. She also counsels a number of prominent companies on ESG-related matters.
