Lydia Parks is a motivated litigator who guides clients through complex litigation matters. Lydia listens to each of her clients’ needs so she can provide goal-oriented service to help them resolve disputes.
Prior to joining Barnes & Thornburg full-time, Lydia was a summer associate with the firm. She conducted legal research and analysis on state and federal issues, drafted motions and discovery, and assisted with depositions and trial preparation.
My summer at Barnes & Thornburg gave me something law school couldn’t: a real vision of what lawyering can be. Getting to work on real matters and assist in providing solutions for real people reminded me what I was working toward. On top of that, the hospitable environment Barnes & Thornburg facilitates for students to learn is unmatched.
