Gary Lynch, Carlson Lynch partner.

Carlson Lynch’s creative and persistent advocacy on behalf of financial institutions who are harmed when merchants suffer payment card data breaches led to final approval of a $50 million settlement with The Wendy’s Co., and a settlement worth more than $9 million in total benefits from Eddie Bauer. These 2019 settlements follow a long line of cases in which the firm has been a leader, after previously succeeding in similar claims against Target and Home Depot in the wake of their highly publicized breaches.
