Law Firm Overview

Belin Lamson McCormick Zumbach Flynn is a full-service law firm devoted to providing the highest quality legal services to business entities, public institutions, and individuals based in Iowa and throughout the nation. The firm provides complete legal services to a broad range of business entities, and it handles legal matters for a variety of national and multinational business clients, including numerous Fortune 500 companies.

Although we are a full service firm, clients also seek us out for our particular expertise in a number of areas, including mergers and acquisitions, debtor/creditor relationships, labor and employment matters, environmental issues, complex commercial lawsuits, white collar criminal defense, and appellate litigation.

The firm's trial lawyers appear throughout Iowa's state and federal courts. In addition, many of our attorneys have been admitted to and have practiced extensively before a wide array of state and federal courts outside of Iowa.

The firm's attorneys are ranked by a number of outside sources as among the state's leaders in their fields. Fifteen lawyers from the Belin firm are listed in The Best Lawyers in America. We have 16 lawyers listed in Chambers and Partners, and over two-thirds of our lawyers are rated AV® by Martindale-Hubbell. The Belin firm is also listed in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers.

The firm is committed to attracting the highest caliber of legal talent. We hire new attorneys from the law schools that are at the top of the national rankings, in addition to seeking outstanding graduates of the Iowa law schools.

The firm counts among its ranks a 14-year justice of the Iowa Supreme Court, attorneys who have clerked for the Iowa Supreme Court or federal Courts of Appeals, and attorneys who have practiced with prominent law firms in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Phoenix.

The firm employs a multidisciplinary approach to representing its clients. The firm's attorneys include six certified public accountants; several attorneys with master's degrees in business administration, public administration and other fields within the humanities; and an attorney with a Ph.D. in economics. This diversity of knowledge enables the firm to evaluate and resolve legal issues in the larger business context in which they arise and assist clients with planning to avoid legal problems in the future.

Belin Lamson McCormick Zumbach Flynn is not, and does not seek to be, the largest law firm in Iowa. The firm's singular focus instead is to provide the highest quality legal services to clients with the most challenging and important legal matters.
