About Dana Lumsden

As a Partner at Seyfarth, my practice focuses on business litigation, including intellectual property disputes, healthcare antitrust disputes, securities litigation, investigations and enforcement proceedings, and the resolution of regulatory controversies in the consumer financial services industry. I advise and represent domestic and international companies, including some of the world’s largest financial institutions and manufacturers. In class action matters, I have successfully defended clients in putative class actions involving healthcare antitrust, securities, banking, and consumer finance claims.I also counsel clients on assessing litigation risk and I take an analytical approach to detail that often leads to resolving disputes before trial. I have tried cases in jurisdictions across the country and I am admitted to practice before the state courts of New York, North Carolina, and Massachusetts; the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York; the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of North Carolina; and the District of Massachusetts. In addition, I regularly practice before the North Carolina Business Court.I have been recognized as a top lawyer in commercial litigation by Business North Carolina magazine and in the inaugural edition of The Legal 500 U.S. Elite for Commercial Litigation in Charlotte. I am committed to advancing the legal profession and improving the community through my work and leadership on committees for the International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC), the North Carolina Bar Association, and the Mecklenburg County Bar Association.
