For the third consecutive year, Saveri Law Firm partner Christopher Young has been named to Benchmark Litigation’s premier “40 & Under” list.
Every year, Benchmark Litigation sets out to identify the best and brightest litigators across the United States. Their list, featuring a profile of Chris, reflects the top emerging talent in litigation.
Chris’s selection was based on several factors. Benchmark Litigation was particularly impressed by the manner in which he played a crucial role in the plaintiffs’ trial team in Capacitors Price-Fixing Antitrust Litigation. Also, of note, Chris was intimately involved with other successful high-profile cases such as UFC Antitrust Litigation and Jackson Hewitt “No-Poach” Litigation in managing discovery, taking depositions, briefing and arguing motions, and achieving settlements. And he has been heavily involved in several groundbreaking, high-profile class action generative artificial intelligence-related cases. These are the first U.S. cases addressing the use or misuse of the intellectual property of creators (software engineers, visual artists, writers, and others) under federal and state statutes.
Benchmark Litigation, based in the United Kingdom, New York City, and Hong Kong, researches and ranks law firms and lawyers based on transactional advice. Since its 2008 inception, the Benchmark brand has grown dramatically and garnered industry-wide accolades as a hub for in-depth analysis of the players shaping the dynamic practice of litigation.

Benchmark Litigation provides, where possible, detailed editorial analysis of key law firm activity, including important, recent case work, and analysis and client feedback on top litigators.
