When news broke less than five years ago that Target had suffered a data breach compromising millions of customers’ payment card information, several financial institutions looked to Carlson Lynch Sweet Kilpela & Carpenter, and name partner Gary Lynch in Pittsburgh, to help recover damages.

Now, Lynch has been appointed as co-lead counsel in a national multidistrict litigation brought by over 70 financial institutions against Equifax, related to the company’s 2017 data breach.  He is also involved in data breach cases against Home Depot, Wendy’s and Arby’s, among others.
