About Lynn D.
Lynn D. Horwitz built her legal foundation at City University of New York’s Queens College, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in 1983. She went on to Fordham University School of Law and received her J.D. in 1994. Those academic years set the timetable for a long professional life in New York law.
Her career has centered in the New York legal community. She serves as Special Counsel at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, a role that positions her inside the work of a full-service firm while allowing for a focused contribution to client matters. The title reflects a senior status that often pairs experience with a practice tailored to specific transactional and advisory needs.
A Fordham graduate, she has worked in the state where she trained. Her practice is carried out under New York jurisdiction. Over the years she has operated within the structures of private law practice, contributing to client files, drafting and reviewing documents, and advising on legal questions that arise in corporate and related settings.
Horwitz’s path is steady rather than theatrical. She combines a long view of legal processes with day-to-day attention to detail. Peers and clients commonly expect Special Counsel to temper big-picture strategy with close attention to contracts, regulatory texts, and procedural requirements. That balance is implicit in the role she holds at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP.
Outside titles and degrees, Horwitz’s resume reflects a typical attorney’s progression: undergraduate study followed by professional training and many years applying that training in a state capital and commercial center. Her work is rooted in the institutions where she trained and practiced. It reflects continuity between academic preparation, bar jurisdiction, and professional appointment.
Today she practices in New York and serves as Special Counsel at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, advising clients and supporting the firm’s legal work in that jurisdiction.
