Two Lawyers Are Honored

Two partners at the law firm Bainton Lynch, which has offices in East Hampton, Manhattan, Queens, and Garden City, have received professional accolades this month.

The managing partner, Kyle Lynch of East Hampton, was named a rising star in the area of business litigation in the 2014 New York Metro Super Lawyers magazine. Super Lawyers is a rating service; rising stars candidates are 40 or younger. This is the second time Mr. Lynch has made the list.

Also recognized this month was Carl Irace of East Hampton, a partner at the firm who was awarded a Leadership in Law Award from Long Island Business News. The award honors “individuals whose leadership, both in the legal profession and in the community, has had a positive impact on Long Island,” according to the Business News website. The selection committee considers an array of criteria such as candidates’ work on behalf of their clients, their participation in professional associations, encouragement of high standards of ethics, and volunteer or pro bono service. Mr. Irace joined Bainton Lynch in 2012. He has done pro bono work for the Retreat and the Amagansett Life-Saving Station.
