Overview

Lindsey Mead is an associate with the firm's Business & Tax practice group in Lansing. Lindsey focuses on business law, business contracts, intellectual property, and legal matters associated with business' use of artificial intelligence (AI).

In addition to her focus on business law, Lindsey is passionate about the arts and the film industry and how entertainment law intertwines with intellectual property and business law. She hopes to expand her practice to work in entertainment law.

Lindsey began her journey with Foster Swift in 2022 as a Summer Associate before returning to the firm full-time in 2023. Lindsey received her Juris Doctor from The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law. While attending OSU, she served as the Communications Editor for the Ohio State Business Law Journal. She also participated in Ohio State's Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic to help local non-profits and OSU students organize start-ups and incorporate their businesses through the program.

While attending OSU Law, she received the Honors Award for performing in the top 5% of her class in the Environmental Law course. She also received the CALI (Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction) Excellence for the Future Award for being the top student based on the curve twice, one for the Marijuana Law course and the other in the Human Rights course.

Lindsey continues to volunteer as much as she can with the elderly and still visits with friends at Community Village Assisted Living Facility in Saginaw.
