Lynn Beekman

Drawing on more than three decades of advocacy experience, Lynn Beekman represents school districts, and public agencies in an array of transactional and litigation matters.  They include those involving facilities, land use, real estate, environmental and governance issues, as well as business disputes.  She also guides districts through sensitive document requests under the Public Records Act and Brown Act issues and defends districts if litigation ensues.

Known for giving solid and thorough legal advice with a unique perspective, Lynn’s extensive litigation background and steadfast vigilance inspire her to constantly look for chinks in the armor.  After scrutinizing deal documents and identifying language and situations that could potentially spawn lawsuits, she takes prudent steps to “bulletproof” transactions on the front end.

Lynn applies her strong analytical abilities, persuasive writing skills, and appellate court experience to her practice.  As a vigorous and enthusiastic defender of those she advises, she takes on whatever burden necessary to remove her clients’ worries.  With a highly responsive and proactive approach, Lynn thoroughly discusses all aspects of issues with clients and checks in frequently throughout the process to ensure that their questions are answered and that they’re comfortable with their chosen strategies.

Prior to coming to F3 she was affiliated with several boutique law firms that focused on real property, land use and business litigation.  She also worked for the City of San Diego in the Land Use Litigation Unit handling CEQA writs, eminent domain cases, Public Records Act suits, easement and ownership disputes, subsidence cases and assessment district challenges.  She has represented school districts in contract disputes, construction defect cases, Public Records Act suits, school bond challenges, mold investigations, CalSTRS’ disputes, eminent domain / inverse condemnation proceedings, developer fee protests and Brown Act challenges, among other actions.  With this experience, Lynn brings a valuable viewpoint to the table and the courtroom, if necessary.
