An energetic problem solver, Lynda I. Chung specializes in trust and estate and business disputes.
Lynda helps her clients through what is often the most emotionally and financially trying time in their lives. Whether being taken advantage of by a trustee or a managing member of the client’s company (often the client’s own family member), she works hard to resolve the matter to her client’s benefit.
Notable results that Lynda and her colleagues have delivered include:
A $23M surcharge judgment against an unfaithful trustee (client’s half-brother), including double and punitive damages;
A $500K Right To Attach Order against the client’s former consultant, who allegedly made secret profits in connection with a luxury home project outside of Moscow;
A $7M Right To Attach Order in an adversarial proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court against a debtor who orchestrated a fraudulent bankruptcy scheme and diverted corporate assets to foreign bank accounts.
Trust and estate litigation matters that Lynda handles include financial elder abuse by caregivers or family members, will and trust contests, disputes over settlors’ capacity, undue influence, fiduciary accounting, and conservatorships.
Lynda also serves as outside general counsel for family offices and high-net-worth clients. In this capacity she provides general legal advice and guidance on estate and succession planning, trust administration, and managing the care of elder family members. Her goal is to minimize her clients’ risks and maximize preservation of their assets.
Lynda is fluent in Korean.
