About

A former Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP lawyer, John Lynch is highly acclaimed for his technical expertise. During his time at international energy investor Sithe Global, he has focused on structuring projects located across Asia, Africa, Latin America and the US. He is also highly recommended in the area of partnership tax. ‘In each project or initiative I am involved in, the most significant challenge I typically face is to fully understand the business needs and objectives of each party,’ says Lynch. ‘A particularly complex undertaking as we operate across multiple jurisdictions and cultures on each project’. In his opinion, the best firms make efforts to understand business needs from the client’s own perspective. He is also a supporter of the fixed fee structure in circumstances where they can offer increased efficiency without reducing quality.
