Mary Young’s practice focuses on representing clients in complex matters across a broad range of substantive legal areas, including product liability, consumer fraud class actions, mass torts and commercial litigation. She serves as national counsel and national coordinating counsel for Fortune 500 companies, defending claims in federal and state courts across the country, including in multidistrict litigation and consolidated proceedings. Mary believes that success comes from listening to her clients, understanding their legal and business objectives and partnering to develop creative, strategic and efficient ways to manage the risks associated with high stakes matters.

Mary is honored to have served pro bono – by Special Attorney Appointment by the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota – as a member of the prosecution team that secured the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. She applied her experience, developed in complex civil litigation, in working with the State’s medical expert witnesses to synthesize complex concepts into information that was clear and understandable for the jury.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"I value Ms. Young's intelligent, forward thinking approach to ligation matters."
"She is very smart and very proactive."
"Ms. Young exemplifies all the things you want in your outside counsel."
"She is always very cognizant of our business implications, and she ensures we are always on the right path."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"Clients should be presented with carefully considered options and recommended solutions, and never simply a variation on the problem. This approach requires intentionality, thoughtfulness, creativity, and a curiosity to know the client’s business and how success is defined. I strive to put myself in the client’s position to understand what is expected, and then aim to exceed those expectations."

– Mary S. Young
