About Lucy R. Malone
Lucy Malone is a litigation associate at Wagstaff & Cartmell LLP, where she focuses on high-stakes, complex mass-tort litigation. Since earning her J.D. from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 2021, she has built substantial experience in large-scale multidistrict proceedings, with a practice spanning pretrial strategy, depositions, discovery, witness development, and trial preparation.
