Lingo also litigated a number of pro bono and religious liberty matters while in private practice. Accounts of this work have appeared on the front pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. He served as president of the Federalist Society’s Charlotte Chapter from 2013 to 2019 and by appointment of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on the Commission’s North Carolina State Advisory Committee from 2016 to 2019. Super Lawyers named him one of North Carolina’s “Rising Stars” for three consecutive years.

Before his career with King & Spalding, Lingo practiced in the Washington, D.C., office of Gibson Dunn. He also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Morris Sheppard Arnold of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Lingo received his law degree with honors from Harvard Law School, where he served as an executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. He graduated first in his class and summa cum laude from Grove City College.
