About Lynn H.
Lynn H. Pasahow entered the legal profession after earning her J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 1972. Her path to law included undergraduate studies at Stanford University, where she completed a B.A. in 1969. Those academic years set the stage for a long career practicing in California.
Pasahow’s education in two prominent California institutions is a throughline in her biography. Berkeley Law placed her in the heart of legal debates and training during a turbulent era. Stanford provided a broader liberal arts grounding before she turned to the law.
Her professional record includes work at Fenwick & West LLP. Records list that firm as part of her experience, and it has been a base for much of her practice. At the firm she handled legal matters for a range of clients, drawing on the training she received in law school and the networks she built during her early career.
Admitted to practice in California, Pasahow has been a member of the state bar community for decades. Her career spans several eras of change in the state’s legal and business environments. Colleagues from her time at the firm recall a lawyer who navigated complex issues in a methodical, pragmatic manner.
She maintained an active role in casework and client counseling while at Fenwick & West LLP. That work covered typical law firm responsibilities, including advising clients, drafting and negotiating documents, and representing client interests. She combined courtroom readiness with the kind of transactional attention that large-firm practice often requires.
Outside of firm practice, Pasahow’s record reflects the conventional career arc of a lawyer educated in the late 1960s and early 1970s: a strong academic foundation followed by long-term work in firm settings. Her career illustrates continuity rather than abrupt shifts; she pursued a steady course through private practice in California.
Now in practice at Fenwick & West LLP, she continues to work in California, handling legal matters for the firm’s clients in the state.
