Lindsey M. Mead

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). She is also a member of the firm's mergers & acquisitions deal team. 

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, along with fellow business attorney Amanda Dernovshek, co-hosts a podcast titled Businesswomen Talking, which provides a platform for women entrepreneurs in the state of Michigan to share their stories as business owners and discuss a number of legal topics that can pose hinderances for women leaders such as succession planning, IP protection, and entity selection/organization. 

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.
