Mr. Kevin Michael Young Related Seminars and Products

Seyfarth Shaw LLP

Kevin defends and advises businesses on a wide array of workplace issues. He is particularly well-versed in federal and state wage and hour laws (e.g., overtime, exempt classification, independent contractor classification, meal and rest breaks, predictive scheduling). Kevin also partners with his clients to tackle day-to-day needs and sensitivities, from negotiating and enforcing employment agreements, to revising handbooks and policies, to identifying and executing training opportunities.

Kevin’s aptitude in counseling employers derives from his front-line litigation experience. He has spent nearly fifteen years defending employers facing single-plaintiff, collective action, and class action lawsuits, as well as government investigations. From “bet the company” litigation to complex matters involving legal issues of first impression, Kevin and the attorneys with whom he partners have secured denials of class certification, won dismissals and summary judgments, and secured trial court and appellate victories for employers on groundbreaking arguments. Kevin has also successfully mediated cases of all sizes, from single-claimant matters to nationwide class cases.

Drawing upon his litigation experience, Kevin helps businesses peek around the corner to proactively identify and mitigate risk. From designing plans to assess compliance with laws most likely to spawn litigation to crafting policies, trainings, and communications to attack legal risk, Kevin partners with his clients at every step. Kevin also leans on his litigation experience in advising businesses of all sizes and growth stages on day-to day employment issues that command real-time answers and practical solutions.

Kevin is known for his collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to solving problems. He is well-networked across the firm and routinely leverages the assistance of colleagues across offices and practice groups to provide the best possible solutions for his clients. This includes not only other lawyers across the platform, but also Seyfarth’s deep bench of skilled, non-attorney professionals, such as project managers, labor economists, and software engineers.

Kevin took a unique path to employment law, first earning his undergraduate degree in accounting, spending three summers interning for a “Big Four” tax firm, and devoting the earliest chapter of his legal career to tax law. These experiences molded Kevin into an attorney who is as comfortable developing a detailed exposure analysis as he is training a roomful of supervisors on best employment practices and common pitfalls. A tech nerd at heart, Kevin also leverages technology to enhance the delivery of legal service.

Kevin and his wife, Lindsay, are the proud parents of two sometimes behaved young boys and a 10-year-old puppy. When he's not working or spending time with his family, Kevin can be found on the ice hockey rink or Peloton, or coaching his oldest son’s tee ball team. Kevin’s ice hockey team, the Crustaceans, won its rec league championship in 2016 (and has failed to make the playoffs each season since).
