Mr. Young has been mediating cases since 1989, and was the founder and long-time chair of the Neutral Services Department of Weston, Benshoof, Rochefort, Rubalcava & MacCuish LLP, a prominent Los Angeles law firm. Building off of his extensive intellectual property and civil litigation experience, Mr. Young assists parties resolve contentious and complex civil disputes, often in creative and innovative ways that the parties themselves had not previously considered. He has extensive experience both litigating and mediating all varieties of intellectual property disputes, with a particular expertise in the area of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and restrictive covenants. In addition, in his 20 year legal career, Mr. Young has mediated, litigated, and tried hundreds of disputes involving unfair competition, antitrust, environmental issues (including CERCLA and RCRA cases), and employment claims, among other business disputes. He has further successfully managed and resolved large multi-party and multi-interest disputes involving public entities, and larger public policy issues.
Mr. Young is very active in the dispute resolution community, speaking publicly and publishing on the use of ADR in the resolution of complex disputes, and is an adjunct professor of law at the University of Southern California Law School, teaching negotiation and mediation.
