Malcolm C. Lindquist, a former member of the ELFA Legal Committee and an active participant in the ELFA Legal Forum, passed away on Sunday, August 4, after losing a courageous battle with cancer.

Lindquist’s practice at Lane Powell concentrated on commercial finance, equipment leasing and the Uniform Commercial Code. He played an essential role in developing and maintaining Lane Powell’s prestige in the banking and finance realm, serving as the leader of the firm’s Financial Institutions Industry Team for many years. In 2004, Lindquist was inducted into the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers as its first Fellow from the state of Washington. He was also an elected member of the American Law Institute and Fellow of the American Bar Foundation.

Lindquist was also a devoted volunteer in the Tacoma community, serving as corporate counsel and project volunteer for Rebuilding Together South Sound for nearly 20 years. He served on the Tacoma Art Museum Board of Trustees for many years and co-chaired the Tacoma Community College Wine Festival several times.

A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, August 22 at 11 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Parish in Seattle, WA. A celebration of life will immediately follow at the ASUW Shell House.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made in Malcolm Lindquist’s name to the UW Rowing Program, ASUW Shell House Capital Campaign, Rebuilding Together South Sound and/or Appendiceal Cancer Research at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
