Lawson Huynh focuses his practice on high-stakes commercial litigation involving business torts, equity contests, and complex insolvency matters. He has earned a reputation for delivering outsized outcomes in improbable situations, often resolving multi-million dollar disputes on highly accelerated timelines.

Lawson’s practice is defined by a sophisticated understanding of financial and legal “tripwires.” He recently architected a priority-realization strategy against an insolvent defendant by identifying dormant cross-default triggers in a $3.6M real estate portfolio—circumventing years of protracted litigation to secure immediate recovery.

His ability to navigate cross-border complexities was recently highlighted in his representation of a private equity executive, where he secured a 192% increase in severance value while navigating mandatory statutory protections under Italian law.

A former clerk to the Hon. Andrea Masley in the New York Supreme Court, Commercial Division, Lawson brings “behind-the-bench” insight to every matter. He has represented high-profile clients ranging from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Brandy Melville to global eCommerce platforms like Easyship Inc. and major retailers like Applebee’s and Perry Ellis International.

Lawson began his career at the international law firm Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP. He is a graduate of St. John’s School of Law, where he served as Managing Director of the Moot Court Honor Society and was a two-time National Finalist in the Thomas Tang National Moot Court Competition.
